[中文]

九月的第三天

那天我永远都不会忘记，没错

因为那天，我爸爸去世了

我从没机会见过他

只听说他坏得很

妈，我靠你了，告诉我真相

妈只低头说，儿子

爸爸是个滚石头，

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单

爸爸是个滚石头，（我儿子，是的）

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单

嘿，妈！

他们说爸爸一辈子没打过一天工，这是真的么

妈，也有人在说坏话

说爸爸有三个私生子

还有另一个妻子，这不对

听说爸爸还在店里布道

讲着拯救灵魂，自己却在吸血

在偷窃，利用神的名义作恶

妈只低头说，

爸爸是个滚石头，（我的儿子）

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单

嘿，爸爸是个滚石头，（见鬼去吧）

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单

嘿，妈，

我听说爸爸自称是个能干的人

告诉我，是不是这让爸爸早早离开了人世

有人说爸爸会乞讨、借钱、偷东西

为了还债

嘿，妈，

有人说爸爸不爱思考

大部分时间都在追女人、喝酒

妈，我靠你了，告诉我真相

妈一脸泪水抬头说，儿子

爸爸是个滚石头，（好吧，好吧，好吧，好吧）

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单（孤单，孤单，孤单，孤单）

爸爸是个滚石头，

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家

他一死，留给我们只剩孤单

(我爸爸，没错，他就是那样，嗯，他就是)

(爸爸是个滚石头，

他带着帽子走到哪，哪就是他的家)

[英语]

It was the third of September

That day I'll always remember, yes I will

'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

Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth

Momma just hung her head and said, son

Papa was a rolling stone,

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Papa was a rolling stone, (my son, yeah)

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Hey Momma!

Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life

And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that

Papa had three outside children

And another wife, and that ain't right

Heard some talk Papa doing some store front preachin'

Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin'

Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the Lord

Momma just hung her head and said

Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Hey Papa was a rolling stone, (dad gumma it)

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Hey Momma,

I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades

Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave

Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal

To pay his bills

Hey Momma,

Folks say Papa never was much on thinking

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking

Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth

Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son

Papa was a rolling stone, (well, well, well, well)

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone (lone, lone, lone, alone)

Papa was a rolling stone,

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone

(My daddy was, yes he was, yeah he was)

(Papa was a rolling stone,

Where ever he laid his hat was his home)
