Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - 群星

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

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

(And when he died)

All he left us was a loan

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

(And when he died)

All he left us was a loan"
