From what I remember of the song, the lyrics say that Papa died but not on what date that he died. Now I am curious enough to go hit google for a copy of the lyrics.

It's the first line of the song

"It was the 3rd of ...
A day I'll always remember
That was the day my daddy died"

You wanna know how much of a dementia geek I am? I remembered this not from the original song but from one of the samples on "Super Fly," a Dickie Goodman song on the Mr. Jaws album. DEMENTIA CRED!
