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 nothin' but bad things about him

Momma I'm depending on you

To tell me the truth

Momma just hung her head said son

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 a loan

Now listen to me

Papa was a rolling stone

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was a loan

Now now now
