[Am]Hey Mama[G], folk[Am]s say Papa
never was much [C]on [G]thinking
Spent [Am]most of his time chas
[G]ing women and [Am]drinking
Mama, I'm depending [C]on you to
[G]tell [Am]me the truth
Mama looked up with a tear in
her eye and said
[G]"Son, [Am]Papa was a rolling [C]stone
(Well, well, [G]well, well, [Am]yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
