Phil Collins - Papa Was A Rolling Stone

Phil Collins

Papa Was A Rolling Stone

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
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...

[Chorus 2x]

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...

[Chorus 4x]

Mirror lyrics:

[Chorus 4x]

Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Hey Momma,

To pay his bills
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Hey Momma,

[Chorus 2x]

Momma just hung her head and said...
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
And another wife, and that ain't right
Papa had three outside children
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
Hey Momma!

[Chorus]

And when he died, all he left us was alone
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
[Chorus:]

Momma just hung her head and said, son
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
I never got a chance to see him
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
It was the third of September
