1
It was the third of September
2
That day I'll always remember, yes, I will
3
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
4
I never got a chance to see him
5
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
6
Momma, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
7
Momma just hung her head and said
8
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone
9
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
10
And when he died, all he left us was alone"
11
Papa was a rolling stone, rolling stone
12
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
13
And when he died, all he left us was alone
14
Hey momma, is it true what they say
15
That Papa never worked a day in his life?
16
And Momma, some bad talk goin' 'round town
17
Sayin' that Papa had three outside children
18
And another wife and that ain't right
19
Heard them talkin' about Papa doing some store front preachin'
20
Talked about savin' souls and all the time leechin'
21
Dealin' in debt and stealin' in the name of the Lord
22
Momma just hung her head and said
23
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son
24
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
25
And when he died, all he left us was alone"
26
Hey, Papa was a rolling stone, [incomprehensible]
27
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
28
And when he died, all he left us was alone
29
Hey Momma, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
30
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
31
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills
32
Hey Momma, folks say Papa never was much on thinkin'
33
Spent most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'
34
Momma I'm dependin' on you to tell me the truth
35
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said
36
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone
37
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
38
And when he died, all he left us was alone"
39
Papa was a rolling stone
40
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
41
And when he died, all he left us was alone
42
Papa was a rolling stone
43
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
44
And when he died, all he left us was alone
45
Papa was a rolling stone
46
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
