Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone lyrics

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember yes I will
Because that was the day
That my Daddy died

I never had a chance to see him nohohooh
Never heard nothin’ but bad things about him
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
My mama just 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 yes yes my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone

Heey mama is it true what they say?
That Papa never worked a day in his life
Ooh Mama some bad talk going around talk
Saying Papa had three outside children
And another whole wife uuhm that ain't right (Yeah yeah)

Heard some talk about Papa do is go some preaching (Yeah yeah)
Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
Dealing in dirt stealing in the name of the Lord
But my mama she just said
Papa was a rolling stone yeaheah!
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone

She just said
Papa was a rolling stone yes yes my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone

Say I heard my Papa was a jack of all trades
Is that what say Papa do end early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg borrow or steal just to pay his bills
(Heey mama but folks say Papa was much unthinking)
(Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking)
(Brother I'm depending on you to tell me the truth)

But my mama she just said
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone

She just said
Papa was a rolling stone yeaheaheaheaheaheayeah
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone uuhuhooh uuhuhooh
But my mama she just said said yeah
(Papa was a rolling stone) All my mama said
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us (Alone) all he left us

Can you believe he left us?
All alone yeaheayeah
All alone yeaheayeah
All alone yeaheayeah

Yeaheaheaheayeaaah
