Phil Collins — Papa Was a Rolling Stone

[Verse 1: Phil Collins] It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will Cause that was the day, that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothing but bad things about him Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth Momma hung her head and said [Chorus: Phil Collins] Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone [Verse 2: Phil Collins] Hey Momma! Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life? And Momma, there some bad talk going round town that Papa had three outside children And another wife Heard them talk about Papa doing some store front preaching Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealing in debt, stealing in the name of the law Momma hung her head and said[?] [Chorus: Phil Collins] Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Son, Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Oh yeah [Verse 3: Phil Collins] Come on, tell me, hey Momma I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal To pay his bills [Bridge: Phil Collins] Folks say Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth [Chorus: Phil Collins] Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone You know. Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Where ever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone
