Papa Was A Rollin' Stone Lyrics - Craig David

1 It was the third of September

2 That day I'll always remember, yes I will

3 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died

4 I never got a chance to see him

5 Never heard nothing but bad things about him

6 Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth

7 And mama just hung her head and said

8 "Papa was a rolling stone

9 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

10 (And when he died)

11 All he left us was alone"

12 "Papa was a rolling stone

13 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

14 (And when he died)

15 All he left us was alone"

16 Well, well

17 Hey mama, is it true what they say

18 That papa never worked a day in his life?

19 And mama, bad talk going around town

20 Saying that papa had three outside children

21 And another wife and that ain't right

22 Heard talk about papa doing some store front preaching

23 Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching

24 Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord

25 Mama just hung her head and said

26 "Papa was a rolling stone

27 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

28 (And when he died)

29 All he left us was alone"

30 Come on, come on, come on, yeah

31 "Hey, Papa was a rolling stone

32 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

33 (And when he died)

34 All he left us was alone"

35 Uh

36 Hey mama, I heard papa call himself a jack of all trade

37 Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave?

38 Folk say papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill

39 Hey mama, folk say that papa was never much on thinking

40 Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking

41 Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

42 Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said

43 "Papa was a rolling stone

44 (Well, well, well, well)

45 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

46 (And when he died)

47 All he left us was alone"

48 "Papa was a rolling stone

49 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

50 (And when he died)

51 All he left us was alone"

52 I said, "Papa was a rolling stone

53 Wherever he laid his hat was his home

54 (And when he died)

55 All he left us was alone"
