It was the 3rd of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
‘Cause that was the day, my Daddy died
I never had the chance to see him, no
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
Your Papa was a rolling stone (yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All that he left us was alone
But my mama she said
Your Papa was a rolling stone yeah
Oh my mama said
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us
All he left us
Can you believe he left us?
All alone yeah [3x]
Yeah
