WOLF - Papa Was A Rolling Stone lyrics

rate me

It was the third of September<br />

That day I'll always remember, yes I will<br />

Cause that was the day my daddy died<br />

I never got a chance to see him<br />

Never heard nothin' but bad things about him<br />

Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth<br />

And Mama just hung her head and said, Son<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

Papa was a rolling stone<br />

Wherever he laid his hat was his home<br />

And when he died<br />

All he left us was alone<br />

Papa was a rolling stone<br />

Wherever he laid his hat was his home<br />

And when he died<br />

All he left us was alone<br />

<br />

Hey, Mama, is it true what they say<br />

That Papa never worked a day in his life?<br />

And Mama, some bad talk goin around town<br />

Sayin that Papa had three outside children and another wife<br />

And that ain't right<br />

Heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching<br />

Talking about saving your souls<br />

And all the time leeching<br />

Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord<br />

Mama just hung her head and said<br />

<br />

Papa was a rolling stone<br />

Wherever he laid his hat was his home<br />

And when he died<br />

All he left us was alone<br />

Papa was a rolling stone<br />

Wherever he laid his hat was his home<br />

And when he died<br />

All he left us was alone<br />

<br />

Hey Mama I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades<br />

Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?<br />

Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal to pay his bills<br />

Folks say Papa was never much on thinkin'<br />

Spent most of his life chasin' women and drinkin'<br />

Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth<br />

And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, Son<br />

<br />

Papa was a rolling stone<br />

Wherever he laid his hat was his home<br />

And when he died<br />

All he left us was alone<br />

Papa was a rolling stone<br />

Wherever he laid his hat was his home<br />

And when he died<br />

All he left us was alone
