Papa Was a Rollin' Stone

Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone
 Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone
 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
 Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
 And Mama 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 a loan"
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home
 And when he died all he left us was a loan
 Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone
 Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone
 Hey, Mama, is it true what they say
 Papa never worked a day in his life?
 Mama, bad talk going around town
 Saying Papa had three outside children from another wife
 And that ain't right
 Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching
 Talked about saving souls, all the time leeching
 Dealing in debt, stealing in the name of the Lord
 \n
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home
 And when he died, all he left us was a loan
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home
 And when he died, all he left us was a loan, oh, yeah, yeah
 Hey, Mama, 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 Mama, folks say Papa wasn't much on thinking
 Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
 Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
 Hey, Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home
 And when he died, all he left us was a loan, no no
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home
 And when he died all he left us was a loan
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Papa was a rolling stone
 Papa was a rolling stone
