Em It was the third of September; that day I'll always re-Ammember, 'Cos that was the day, that my daddy Emdied.
Em I never got a chance to see him; Never heard nothin' but Ambad things about him. Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the Emtruth.

Em Papa was a rollin' stone; wherever he laid his Amhat, was his home. And Emwhen his died, Amall he left us was a-Emlone".
Verse 2:
Hey, Mama, I Emheard Papa call himself a jack of all trades; Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an Amearly grave? Folks say Papa would beg borrow or steal to Empay his bills. Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin'; Spend most of his time chasin' Amwomen and drinkin'! Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the Emtruth.
Chorus 2: (Spoken): Mama just hung her head and said; "son...
