Rockapella - Papa Was a Rolling Stone lyrics

Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone 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 And 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 a loan" Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was a loan Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone Ro-o, he was a ro-o-olling, ro-o, he was a rolling stone Hey, Mama, is it true what they say Papa never worked a day in his life? Mama, bad talk going around town Saying Papa had three outside children from another wife And that ain't right Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching Talked about saving souls, all the time leeching Dealing in debt, stealing in the name of the Lord Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was a loan, oh, yeah, yeah Hey, Mama, heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave? Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills Hey Mama, folks say Papa wasn't much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Hey, Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was a loan, no no Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone Papa was a rolling stone Papa was a rolling stone Papa was a rolling stone
