[01:55.80]It was the third of September
[01:59.70] That day I'll always remember, yes I will
[02:05.70] 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
[02:13.17] I never got a chance to see him
[02:16.98] Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
[02:21.33] Mama I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
[02:26.52] And Momma just hung her head and said
[02:28.14] "Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
[02:33.48] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[02:37.65] And when he died all he left us was alone.
[02:46.29] Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
[02:51.39] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[02:53.01] And when he died all he left us was alone."
[02:58.11] Well, well
[02:58.32] "Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
[03:34.41] That Papa never worked a day in his life?
[03:39.15] And Mama, some bad talk goin' round town
[03:42.54] Sayin' that Papa had three outside children and another wife,
[03:49.08] And that ain't right.
[03:49.44] Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
[03:53.07] Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching
[03:57.42] Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the Lord"
[04:00.93] Mama just hung her head and said
[04:05.58] "Papa was a rolling stone, my son
[04:09.18] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[04:13.50] And when he died all he left us was alone.
[04:22.02] Hey, Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
[04:25.17] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[04:29.43] And when he died all he left us was alone."
[04:33.78] Uh
[04:33.81] "Hey Mama, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
[05:05.04] Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
[05:09.15] Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills
[05:12.87] Hey Mama, folks say that Papa never was much on thinking
[05:21.15] Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
[05:24.54] Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth"
[05:30.72] And Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said
[05:32.70] "Son, Papa was a rolling stone
[05:35.43] (Well, well, well, well)
[05:39.36] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[05:40.29] And when he died all he left us was alone
[05:45.78] Lone, lone, lone, alone
[05:53.94] Papa was a rolling stone
[05:54.45] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[05:56.04] And when he died all he left us was alone
[06:03.75] I said, Papa was a rolling stone, yes he was
[06:10.65] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
[06:12.12] And when he died all he left us was alone.."
[06:27.54] My daddy was
[06:27.81] Papa was a rolling stone
[06:28.32] Wherever he laid his hat was his home
