Papa Was a Rolling Stone - #FieldofMusic
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 nothing but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you
To tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said
Son
Papa was a Rolling Stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone
Oh ho
Papa was a Rolling Stone
Hey man
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
Bad talk going round town
Saying that papa had three outside children
And another wife
And that ain't right
I heard them talking papa doing
Some store front preaching
Talking about saving souls
And all the time leeching
Dealing in dirt
And stealing in the name of the Lord
Momma 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
Hey momma
Papa was a rolling stone
Oh yeah
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone
Ohh
