Death at a Funeral movie - Papa Was A Rollin\' Stone lyrics

rate me

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 nothin' but bad things about him

"Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth"

And Momma just hung her head and said...

"Son, 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

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

Well, well"

"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 them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'

Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching

Dealing in debt, 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, (my son)

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

(And when he died) All he left us was alone

Uh"

"Hey Momma, I heard Papa called himself 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 Momma, folks say that 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"

And Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said...

"Son, Papa was a rolling stone (my son)

(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 (my son)

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

(And when he died) All he left us was alone

I 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.."
