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 so tell me the truth
"Papa was a rolling stone my son "
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
All he left us was a loan
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
I say I say
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
I say I say
All he left us was a loan
Papa was a rolling stone my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
All he left us was a loan
I say
Papa was a rolling stone my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
All he left us was a loan
I say
Papa was a rolling stone my son
Papa was a rolling stone
