Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, Pt. 1

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
Mama just hung her head and said, "Son
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
My son, when I-
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone
