Papa Was A Rolling Stone-Gilbert Montagné

[04:01.95]It was the third of September. [04:05.75]That day I'll always remember, yes I will. [04:10.57]'Cause that was the day that my daddy died. [04:19.27]I never got a chance to see him. [04:23.21]Never heard nothing but bad things about him. [04:27.26]Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth. [04:29.31] [04:32.93]"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. [04:33.00]And Mama just hung her head and said, [04:38.14]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [04:43.29](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." [04:51.38]"Papa was a rolling stone, my son. [04:55.72]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [04:58.95](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." [05:01.20] [05:07.09]Well, well. [05:09.61] [05:38.17]Hey Mama, is it true what they say, [05:41.15]that Papa never worked a day in his life? [05:47.04]And Mama, bad talk going around town [05:49.79]saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife. [05:52.03]And that ain't right. [05:56.19]HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching. [05:59.88]TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching. [06:03.48]Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord. [06:05.24] [06:11.66]Mama just hung her head and said, [06:14.21]"Papa was a rolling stone, my son. [06:16.09]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [06:19.64](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." [06:27.14]"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone. [06:31.93]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [06:35.58](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." [06:39.73] [06:43.29]Uh! [06:44.70] [09:56.11]Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade. [10:00.80]Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave? [10:05.14]Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill. [10:11.47]Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking. [10:17.18]Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking. [10:21.07]Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, [10:26.78]"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well) [10:33.38]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [10:36.84](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." [10:45.38]"Papa was a rolling stone. [10:48.97]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [10:53.09](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE." [10:55.41] [11:00.09]"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [11:09.07](And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
