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
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
Papa was a rolling stone (my son,
yeah)
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, some bad talk goin'
round town sayin' that
Papa had three outside children
And another wife,
and that ain't right
Heard some talk Papa doing some
storefront preachin'
Talking about saving souls and
all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt,
and stealing in the name of the Lord
Momma just hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone
(my son)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died,
all he left us was alone
Hey Papa was a rolling stone
(dad gumma it)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Momma
I heard Papa called him
self 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
Hey Mom ma
Folks say Papa never was
much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing
women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you
to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in
her eye and said, son
Papa was a rolling stone (well,
well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone (lone,
lone, lone, alone)
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died,
all he left us was alone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died,
all he left us was alone
My daddy
was
Papa was a rolling
stone (yes he was, yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat
was his home)
