Papa Was A Rollin' Stone Lyrics - Bon Jovi

It was the third of September 

That day I`ll always remember, yes I will 

`Cause that was the day that my daddy died 

Never had a chance to see him, no 

Never heard nothin` but bad things about him 

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

Mama just hung her head and said 

Chorus 

"Papa was a rollin` stone 

Wherever he laid his hat was his home 

And when he died 

All he left us was alone" (repeat)

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Hey, Mama, is it true what they say 

That Papa never worked a day in his life 

Some bad talk going around sayin` 

Papa had there outside children 

And another wife 

That ain`t right 

Heard some talk about Papa and his storefront 

Preachin` 

Talkin` about saving souls and all the time 

Leaching 

And dealing in dirt 

Stealin` in the name of the Lord 

But Mama she just said 

Chorus 

Say, I heard my papa was a jack of all trades 

Is that what sent Papa to an early grave? 

Folks say Papa would beg, borrow or steal just 

To pay his bills. 

Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin' 

Spent most of his time chansin` women and drinkin' 

But Mother, I'm depending on you to tell me the 

Truth 

But my mama she just said 

Chorus(2x)
