Mama should have told me the trtuth
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never had a chance to see him
Never heard nothing but bad things about him
Mama, I'm dependin' on you to tell me the truth
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) all he left us was a loan
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) all he left us was a loan
Hey papa, hey papa
Had three kids outside the ones you had with my mama
Hey mama, hey mama
I depend on you to tell the truth about papa
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 Bob Steele to pay his bills
Hey mama, folks say papa never was much of thinkin'
Spent most of this time facing women and drinking
Mama, I'm dependin' on you to tell me the truth
Mama hung her head, said
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all l he left us was a loan
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) all he left us was a loan
Hey (left his home)
Hey (we're alone)
Hey (left his home)
Wherever he lay his head
Hey (hey)
Hey (left his home)
Hey (wherever, wherever he lay his hat)
Mama should have told me
Mama should have told me
Mama should have told me
Mama should have told me the truth
Mama should have told me
Mama should have told me
Mama should have told me
Mama should have told me the truth
Papa was a rolling stone
He was never home, when he died he left us all alone
A jack of all trades (jack of all trades), he had an early grave
Never much on thinking, chasing women and drinking
He left us all alone
Papa was a rolling stone
(Wherever he laid his hat was his home) wherever he laid his hat
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever, wherever he lay his hat
Hey papa, hey papa, where did you go
Wherever he laid his hat
Hey mama, hey mama
Where didn't you go?
Wherever, wherever he lay his hat
