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 my daddy died

I never got a chance to see him

Never heard nothin' but bad things about him

Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth

And Mama just hung her head and said, Son

Chorus

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

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone

Hey, Mama, is it true what they say

That Papa never worked a day in his life?

And Mama, some bad talk goin around town

Sayin that Papa had three outside children and another wife

And that ain't right

Heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching

Talking about saving your souls

And all the time leeching

Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the LordWolf - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - http://motolyrics.com/wolf/papa-was-a-rolling-stone-lyrics.html

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

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone

Hey Mama I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades

Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?

Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal to pay his bills

Folks say Papa was never much on thinkin'

Spent most of his life chasin' women and drinkin'

Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, Son

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

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone
