That day i'll always

remember cause that

was the day that my

daddy died

I never got a chance

to see him never

things about him

Mama i'm depending on

Papa was a rollin

stone wherever he laid

his hat was his home

and when he died all

he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin

stone wherever he laid

Hey mama I heard papa

call himself a jack

of all trades tell me

is that what sent papa

to an early grave

Folks say papa would

beg borrow or steal to

pay his bills

Hey mama folks say

papa was never much on

thinkin spent most of

his time chasin women

and drinkin

Mama i'm depending on

you to tell me the truth

Papa was a rollin

stone wherever he laid

his hat was his home

and when he died all

he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin

stone wherever he laid

his hat was his home

and when he died all

he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin

stone wherever he laid

his hat was his home

and when he died all

he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin

stone wherever he laid

his hat was his home

and when he died all

he left us was alone
