 Slash feat. Demi Lovato - Papa Was A Rolling Stone Lyrics

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


"Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

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

"Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

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


Hey, Momma!

Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day in his life?

Some bad talk goin' round town sayin'

Papa had three outside children and another wife

And that ain't right

Heard some talk Papa doing some storefront preachin'

Talking 'bout saving souls and all the time leechin'

Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the Lord


Momma just hung her head and said


"Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

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

"Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone," ooh!


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


"Papa was a rolling stone

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

Was his home

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

"Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

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


Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
