[Verse 1]
It was the third of Septem[Am]ber[F][C]
That day I'll always [G]remember[Am],
[G]yes I will
Cause [Am]that was [G]the [Am]day,
[C]that my dad[G]dy died
[Am]I ne[C]ver [G]go[Am]t[G]
a chance [C]to see [G]him
Nev[Am]er heard no[C]thin' but
[G]bad things about him
Momma I'm de[C]pending on you,
to tell me [G]the truth[Am]
Momma just [G]hung her [D]head and said,
[G]son[Am]
Papa was a rolling [C]stone,

[Verse 2]

[Am]Talked about saving souls and[G]
all [C]the time leech[F]in'
[Am]Dealing in [G]debt,
[C]and stealing in the [G]name of the [Am]Lord
Momma [C]just [G]hung[Am]
her head an[G]d said...

[Verse 4]
Hey Momma,
I heard [C]Papa called himself
a jack of [G]all trades
[Am]Tell [C]me is that what sen[G]t
Papa to an [Am]early [G]grave
Folks [C]say [G]Papa would beg, borrow, steal
[Am]To p[G]ay his bills
Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was
much on thinking
Spent [C]most [G]of his time chasing
women and drinking
Momma I'm [C]depending
on you, to tell me [G]the truth
Momma looked up with a tear
in her eye [C]and [G]said, son...
