Papa Was a Rollin' Stone

Papa Was a Rollin' Stone - The Hit Crew

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

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone

Ohh Papa was a rolling stone (my son)

Where ever 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 going round town saying that

Papa had three outside children

And another wife and that ain't right

Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preaching

Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching

Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the law

Momma just hung her head and said

Papa was a rolling stone

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone

Hey Papa was a rolling stone

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone

Oh
