The Kingston Trio
Rollin’ Stone
[Verse 1]
A rollin' stone gathers no moss
A rollin' stone gathers no moss
So as far as I can see
I guess I was meant to be
Just a rollin' stone
[Verse 2]
A rollin' stone gathers no moss
A rollin' stone hasn't a boss
Just like a spring or a summer's breeze
I can roll just where I please
I'm just a rollin' stone
[Bridge 1]
Can't lose my way, all directions are the same when I'm a-travelin'
I've got no home, sweet home
I just keep hoppin', never stoppin', couldn't even if I wanted to
I've got to roam and roam
[Verse 3]
A rollin' stone gathers no moss
A rollin' stone's like that coin that you toss
But I don't need a level ground
I can roll uphill or down
I'm just a rollin' stone
[Bridge 2]
When I'm travelin', all directions are the same
A string unravelin', I don't think that I'm to blame
[Verse 4]
Some might think my life's a loss
But a rollin' stone never gets lost
So I'll just keep playin' it straight
'Til I roll right through that gate
I'm just a rollin' stone
[Outro]
A rollin' stone
A rollin' stone
A rollin' stone
