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 nothing, but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Mama just hung her head and said, "Son"
(Papa was a rolling stone) my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died), all he left us was alone (alone)
Now listen to me
(Papa was a rolling stone) ah, ha-ha
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died), all he left us was alone (alone)
Now, now, now
He left, he left, he left
