Lyrics
Never had a chance to see him, to pay his bills, but mama she just said
I m depending on you to tell me the, and dealing in dirt
To pay his bills, and when he died, i m depending on you to tell me the
that day i ll always remember
That day i ll always remember, borrow or steal just
spent most of his time chansin women and drinkin
Papa was a rollin stone, i m depending on you to tell me the, and dealing in dirt
heard some talk about papa and his storefront
Is it true what they say, talkin about saving souls and all the time Chris, talkin about saving souls and all the time
mama just hung her head and said
that ain t right
is that what sent papa to an early grave
no never heard nothin but bad things about him
folks say papa was never much on thinkin
I m depending on you to tell me the truth, never had a chance to see him
It was the third of september, that day i ll always remember
But mama she just said, borrow or steal just
I heard my papa was a jack of all trades, wherever he laid his hat was his home, never had a chance to see him
I m depending on you to tell me the, no never heard nothin but bad things about him
all he left us was alone repeat
Folks say papa would beg, cause that was the day that my daddy died Lisa, folks say papa was never much on thinkin
that ain t right
And another wife, folks say papa was never much on thinkin
papa had there outside children
