Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone The Black Crowes

[Verse 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, yeah
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 hung her head, she said, "Son

[Chorus]
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died)
All he left us was alone, yeah"
I said, 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]
Hey, mama
Is it true what they say? Papa never worked a day in his life?
And mama, some bad talk goin' 'round sayin' that
Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Yeah, heard some talk about papa doing some storefront preachin'
Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord
Mama just hung her head, she said
