Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

[00:30.73] It was the third of September
[00:34.30] That day I'll always remember, yes I will
[00:39.77] Cause that was the day my daddy died
[00:46.05] I never got a chance to see him
[00:52.42] Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
[00:56.00] Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth
[01:04.15] And Mama just hung her head and said, Son
[01:06.81] Chorus
[01:07.77] Papa was a rolling stone
[01:09.52] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[01:13.26] And when he died
[01:15.98] All he left us was alone
[01:20.49] Papa was a rolling stone
[01:22.27] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[01:24.90] And when he died
[01:25.83] All he left us was alone
[01:26.71] Hey, Mama, is it true what they say
[01:27.61] That Papa never worked a day in his life?
[01:28.58] And Mama, some bad talk goin around town
[01:31.20] Sayin that Papa had three outside children and another wife
[01:35.75] And that ain't right
[01:38.45] Heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching
[01:42.15] Talking about saving your souls
[01:43.95] And all the time leeching
[01:45.78] Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord
[01:50.22] Mama just hung her head and said
[01:52.92] Papa was a rolling stone
[01:57.43] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[02:01.08] And when he died
[02:03.73] All he left us was alone
[02:09.20] Papa was a rolling stone
[02:28.22] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[02:30.03] And when he died
[02:30.99] All he left us was alone
[02:31.87] Hey Mama I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
[02:32.76] Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
[02:35.49] Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal to pay his bills
[02:41.73] Folks say Papa was never much on thinkin'
[02:47.17] Spent most of his life chasin' women and drinkin'
[02:51.76] Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
[02:56.25] And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, Son
[02:59.83] Papa was a rolling stone
[03:03.45] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[03:07.04] And when he died
[03:09.70] All he left us was alone
[03:11.66] Papa was a rolling stone
[03:13.47] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[03:16.11] And when he died
[03:17.08] All he left us was alone
[03:20.65]
