Papa Was a Rolling Stone

歌詞

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 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 Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan 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 I heard some talk about Papa doing some store front preaching Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama just hung her head and said Papa was a rolling stone my son Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan Hey Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan 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 steal to pay his bills Hey Mama folks say Papa never was 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 Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home
