Craig David - Papa Was A Rolling Stone |
|
It was the third of Septemberthat day I'll always remember |
|
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died |
|
I never got a chance to see him |
|
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him |
|
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth |
|
Mama just looked at him and said, "Son |
|
Papa was a rollin' stone |
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home |
|
And when his died |
|
All he left us was alone." x2 |
|
Hey Mama, is it true what they say, |
|
that Papa never worked a day in his life? |
|
And Mama, bad talk going around town |
|
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife. |
|
And that ain't right. |
|
HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching. |
|
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching. |
|
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord. |
|
Mama just hung her head and said, |
|
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son. |
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
|
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." |
|
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone. |
|
Wherever he laid his hat was his home. |
|
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." |
|
Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade. |
|
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave? |
|
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill. |
|
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking. |
|
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking. |
|
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. |
|
Mama just hung her head and said, |
|
"Son, Papa 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." x2 |
