( Introduction)
I never got a
chance to meet him
Never heard nothin' but

bad things about him
Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his

hat was his home

All he left us was alone
( Instrumental Break)
Hey mamma is it
true what they say
That papa never

worked a day in his life
And mamma some bad
talk goin' 'round town
Sayin' that papa had

three outside children
Wherever he laid his
hat was his home
And when he died

All he left us was alone
Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his

hat was his home
And when he died

All he left us was alone
( Instrumental Break)
Hey mamma I heard

papa called himself

a jack of all trades
Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his

alone lone lone lone lone
And when he died

All he left us was alone
