Papa Was A Rolling Stone Lyrics - Essential Going Back - 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 nothin' but bad things about him 

Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth 

Momma just hung her head and said, son 

Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) 

Where ever he laid his hat was his home 

And when he died, all he left us was alone

And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children 

And another wife, and that ain't right 

Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin' 

Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching 

Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law 

Momma just hung her head and said... 

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 

Hey Momma 

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 

Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...
