Papa Was a Rolling Stone

It was the 3rd of September
 That day I'll always remember
 That was the day that my Daddy died
 Never got a chance to see him
 Never heard nothing but bad things about him
 Mamma, I'm counting on you to tell me the truth
 And she said, Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he lay his hat was his home
 And when he died, all he left us was alone
 Hey Mamma, I 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 or borrow to pay his last bill
 So Mamma, I' depending on you to tell me the truth
 She said, Papa was a rolling stone
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home
 And when he died, all he left us was alone, yeah, was alone
 Nothing but alone
