Backstreet Boys



Papa Was a Rolling Stone

'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

Mama I'm depending on you

To tell me the truth



(Spoken:)

Mama just looked

At him and said, "Son,



CHORUS:

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his

Hat was his home

And when his died,

All he left us was alone"



Hey, mama, I heard Papa call

Himself a jack of all trades

Tell me, is that what sent

Papa to an early grave?

Folks say Papa would beg

Borrow or steal to pay his bills

Hey, Mama, folks say Papa

Was never much on thinkin'

Spend most of his time

Chasin' women and drinkin'

Mama, I'm depending on you

To tell me the truth



(Spoken:)

Mama just hung her head

And said, "Son,



Repeat chorus
