[Lyric] Papa Was a Rolling Stone (The Dream Syndicate)

[Verse 1]
I'll always remember
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Never heard nothin' too good about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
I was five and said

[Chorus]
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

[Verse 2]
Hey mama
It was said papa never worked an honest day in his life
That ain't right
Folks says papa would beg, borrow, steal
I say papa wasn't much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama just shook her head and said
[Chorus]
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all that he left us was alone, mm
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all that he left us was alone, mm

[Chorus]
Ah, papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all that he left us was alone, mm
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all that he left us was alone-lone-lone-lone

[Outro]
One, two, three, four
