Verse 1
*Riff A continues through verse
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
I Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son
Chorus 1
Dm7Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

Verse 2
*Riff A continues through verse
Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day
.........in his life.
And Momma, bad talk goin' round
Papa had three little children
By another wife that ain't right
Bad talk about Papa doing storefront preachin'
Talking about saving souls all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt, stealing in the name of the Lord
Chorus 2
Dm7Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Papa was a rolling stone
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

Verse 3
*Riff A continues through verse
Folks said papa was a jack-of-all-trades
That sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay........ his debts
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Chorus 3
Dm7Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
