Lyrics to Papa Was A Rolling Stone
It was the third of September that day I'll always remember yes I will
'cause that was the day that my daddy died yea
I never got the chance to see him
never heard nothing but bad things about him
mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
mama just hung her head and said son
Papa was a rolling stone my son now
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left me was alone
papa was a rolling stone ooh ooh yea
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left me was alone
Hey mama is it true what they say that papa never worked a day in his life
and mama some bad talk going around town saying that papa had
three outside children and another wife and that ain't right
hey some talk about papa doing some storefront preaching
talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the lord
mama hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone my son
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
now listen to me papa was a rolling stone well
wherever he laid his head 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 my papa to an early grave
folks say papa would beg borrow and steal to pay his bills
hey mama folks say papa was never much on thinking
spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said son
Papa was a rolling stone well well well
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
papa was a rolling stone
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
I say papa was a rolling stone
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
'cause that was the day that my daddy died yea
I never got the chance to see him
never heard nothing but bad things about him
mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
mama just hung her head and said son
Papa was a rolling stone my son now
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left me was alone
papa was a rolling stone ooh ooh yea
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left me was alone
Hey mama is it true what they say that papa never worked a day in his life
and mama some bad talk going around town saying that papa had
three outside children and another wife and that ain't right
hey some talk about papa doing some storefront preaching
talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the lord
mama hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone my son
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
now listen to me papa was a rolling stone well
wherever he laid his head 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 my papa to an early grave
folks say papa would beg borrow and steal to pay his bills
hey mama folks say papa was never much on thinking
spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said son
Papa was a rolling stone well well well
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
papa was a rolling stone
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
I say papa was a rolling stone
wherever he laid his head was his home
and when he died all he left us was alone
