Lyrics

[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.
[06:07.222] Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[06:10.774] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
