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"

Papa was a rolling stone, rolling stone
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 going 'round town
Saying that Papa had three outside children
And another wife and that ain't right

Heard them talking about Papa doing some store front preaching
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
[ Various Artists Lyrics are found on www.getlyrics.com ]
And when he died, all he left us was alone"

Hey, Papa was a rolling stone, [incomprehensible]
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

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 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
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone"

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
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
