[04:01.95]It was the third of September.
[04:05.75]That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
[04:10.57]'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
[04:19.27]I never got a chance to see him.
[04:23.21]Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
[04:27.26]Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth.
[04:29.31]
[04:32.93]"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
[04:33.00]And Mama just hung her head and said,
[04:38.14]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[04:43.29](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
[04:51.38]"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
[04:55.72]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[04:58.95](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
[05:01.20]
[05:07.09]Well, well.
[05:09.61]
[05:38.17]Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
[05:41.15]that Papa never worked a day in his life?
[05:47.04]And Mama, bad talk going around town
[05:49.79]saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
[05:52.03]And that ain't right.
[05:56.19]HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
[05:59.88]TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
[06:03.48]Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
[06:05.24]
[06:11.66]Mama just hung her head and said,
[06:14.21]"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
[06:16.09]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[06:19.64](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
[06:27.14]"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
[06:31.93]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[06:35.58](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
[06:39.73]
[06:43.29]Uh!
[06:44.70]
[09:56.11]Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
[10:00.80]Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
[10:05.14]Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
[10:11.47]Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
[10:17.18]Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
[10:21.07]Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
[10:26.78]"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
[10:33.38]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[10:36.84](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
[10:45.38]"Papa was a rolling stone.
[10:48.97]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[10:53.09](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
[10:55.41]
[11:00.09]"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[11:09.07](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
