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
It was the third of september
That day I 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
Papa was a rolling stone
Papa was a rolling stone
Papa was a papa was a papa was a
Papa was a rolling stone
Papa was a rolling stone
Rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
It was the third of september
That day I 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
Oh
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 they say
That papa never worked a day in his life in his life
And mama some bad talk going round town
Saying papa three outside children and another wife
And that ain't right and that ain't right
And that ain't right right right papa
Was a rolling stone
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
Papa was a rolling stone
