Papa Was A Rolling Stone (2016 Remastered)

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 nothin' but bad things about him

Momma I'm depending on you, tell me the truth

Momma 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 Momma!

Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day in his life

And Momma, there's some bad talk goin' round town

Papa had three outside children and another wife

Heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preachin'

Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin'

Dealing in debt, stealing in the name of the law

Momma 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

Son, Papa was a rolling stone (here you know it)

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

(Come on, tell me)

Hey, Momma

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

Folks say Papa never was much on thinking

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking

Momma I'm depending on you, tell me the truth

Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

(You know) Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

(Nothin' but bad things)

Papa was a rolling stone (here you know it)

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

(Nothin' but bad things about him)
