Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

Lyrics
It was the third of September That day I'll always remember yes I will Because that was the day That my Daddy died I never had a chance to see him nohohooh Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth My mama just hung her head and said Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone yes yes my son Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Heey mama is it true what they say? That Papa never worked a day in his life Ooh Mama some bad talk going around talk Saying Papa had three outside children And another whole wife uuhm that ain't right (Yeah yeah) Heard some talk about Papa do is go some preaching (Yeah yeah) Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealing in dirt stealing in the name of the Lord But my mama she just said Papa was a rolling stone yeaheah! Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone She just said Papa was a rolling stone yes yes my son Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Say I heard my Papa was a jack of all trades Is that what say Papa do end early grave? Folks say Papa would beg borrow or steal just to pay his bills (Heey mama but folks say Papa was much unthinking) (Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking) (Brother I'm depending on you to tell me the truth) But my mama she just said Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone She just said Papa was a rolling stone yeaheaheaheaheaheayeah Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone uuhuhooh uuhuhooh But my mama she just said said yeah (Papa was a rolling stone) All my mama said Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us (Alone) all he left us Can you believe he left us? All alone yeaheayeah All alone yeaheayeah All alone yeaheayeah Yeaheaheaheayeaaah
