Papa was a Rollin' Stone

It was the third of September; that day I'll always remember,

	Bm
	'Cos that was the day, that my daddy died.

Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said; "Son... (spoken)

Papa was a rollin' stone; (well well well well) wherever he laid his hat, was his home.

And when he died, all he left us was alone".
