[01:55.395]	It was the third of September.
[01:59.361]	That day I'll always remember,yes I will.
[02:04.313]	'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
[02:12.615]	I never got a chance to see him.
[02:16.568]	Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
[02:20.809]	Mama,I'm depending on you,tell me the truth.
[02:25.967]	And Mama just hung her head and said,
[02:27.619]	"Son,Papa was a rolling stone.
[02:32.920]	Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[02:36.424]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[02:44.474]	"Papa was a rolling stone,my son.
[02:48.715]	Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[02:52.124]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[02:59.267]	Well,well.
[03:30.378]	Hey Mama,is it true what they say,
[03:33.66]	that Papa never worked a day in his life?
[03:37.965]	And Mama,bad talk going around town
[03:41.337]	saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
[03:45.837]	And that ain't right.
[03:47.464]	HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
[03:51.915]	Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching.
[03:55.465]	Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
[04:01.456]	Mama just hung her head and said,
[04:03.357]	"Papa was a rolling stone,my son.
[04:07.907]	Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[04:11.57]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[04:18.762]	"Hey,Papa was a rolling stone.
[04:23.563]	Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[04:27.13]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[04:34.362]	Uh!
[04:58.417]	Hey Mama,I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
[05:02.968]	Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
[05:07.368]	Folk say Papa would beg,borrow,steal to pay his bill.
[05:13.471]	Hey Mama,folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
[05:19.269]	Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
[05:23.17]	Mama,I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.
[05:28.663]	Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
[05:30.563]	"Son,Papa was a rolling stone.
[05:33.176]	（Well,well,well,well）
[05:35.277]	Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[05:38.731]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[05:46.869]	"Papa was a rolling stone.
[05:51.220]	Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[05:54.670]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[06:01.469]	"I said,Papa was a rolling stone.

[06:10.774]	（And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
