George Michael - Papa Was A Rolling Stone Lyrics
Papa was a rollin` stoneIt was the third of septemberThat day i`ll always remember, yes I will`cause that was the day that my daddy diedNever had a chance to see him, noNever heard nothin` but bad things about himMama, i`m depending on you to tell me the truthMama just hung her head and saidChorusPapa was a rollin` stoneWherever he laid his hat was his homeAnd when he diedAll he left us was alone (repeat)Hey, mama, is it true what they sayThat papa never worked a day in his lifeSome bad talk going around sayin`Papa had there outside childrenAnd another wifeThat ain`t rightHeard some talk about papa and his storefrontPreachin`Talkin` about saving souls and all the timeLeachingAnd dealing in dirtStealin` in the name of the lordBut mama she just saidChorusSay, I heard my papa was a jack of all tradesIs that what sent papa to an early grave?Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal justTo pay his bills.Hey, mama, folks say papa was never much on thinkin`Spent most of his time chansin` women and drinkin`But mother, i`m depending on you to tell me theTruthBut my mama she just saidChorus(2x)
