It was the third of September[00:04:49]
That day I'll always remember, yes I will[00:04:49]
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died[00:04:49]
I never got a chance to see him[00:04:49]
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him[00:04:49]
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth[00:04:49]
Momma just hung her head and said, son[00:04:49]
(Chorus)[00:04:49]
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)[00:04:49]
Where ever he laid his hat was his home[00:04:49]
and when he died, all he left us was alone[00:04:49]
(Repeat Chorus)[00:04:49]
Hey Momma![00:04:49]
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life[00:04:49]
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children[00:04:49]
And another wife, and that ain't right[00:04:49]
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'[00:04:49]
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching[00:04:49]
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law[00:04:49]
Momma just hung her head and said...[00:04:49]
(Chorus) x 2[00:04:49]
Hey Momma,[00:04:49]
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades[00:04:49]
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave[00:04:49]
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal[00:04:49]
To pay his bills[00:04:49]
Hey Momma,[00:04:49]
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking[00:04:49]
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking[00:04:49]
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth[00:04:49]
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...[00:04:49]
(Chorus) x 4[00:04:49]
