Phil Collins - Papa Was a Rolling Stone lyrics

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 nothin' but bad things about him Momma, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Momma hung her head and said Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Hey momma, is it true what they say That papa never worked a day in his life? And momma, there's some bad talk goin' 'round town That papa had three outside children and another wife Heard some talk about papa doing some store front preachin' Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealing in debt, stealing in the name of the law Momma hung her head and said Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Son, papa was a rolling stone, yeah, you know it Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Oh yeah Come on, tell me, hey momma 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, borrow, steal To pay his bills Folks say papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone You know, papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone [Incomprehensible] Papa was a rolling stone, yeah, you know it Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Hey, you know how much you owe Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Nothing but some bad days of [Incomprehensible] Papa was a rolling stone
