Papa Was a Rolling Stone

Lyrics

It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him I Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Momma 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 Well, well, is it true what they say That Papa never worked a day in his life? And Mama, there's some bad talk goin' around town Sayin' that Papa had three outside children and another wife That shit ain't right Heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching He's dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord And she said Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone x2 Folks say Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth Papa was a rolling stone, son Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home...
