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 Never heard nothing but bad things about him Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama just looked at him 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" Hey mama, is it true what you 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 Huh, heard some talk about papa doing some storefront preachin Talkin bout saving souls and all the time leechin Dealin in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord 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 alone Papa was a rollin' stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone" Hey mama, I heard papa call 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 muck on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama looked up with a tear and her eye and said: "Son, Papa was a rollin' stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Papa was a rollin' stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone"
