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
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth, oh
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
Rolling stone
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
Rolling stone
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothing but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
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
Rolling stone, oh
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
Rolling stone
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
Rolling stone
