The Temptations Miscellaneous Papa Was A Rolling Stone Papa Was a Rolling Stone The Temptations - written by Norman WHitfield and Barrett Strong It was the third of September That day I'll always remember 'Cause that was the day my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth And Mama just hung her head and said, Son Chorus: Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Hey, Mama, is it true what they say That Papa never worked a day in his life? And Mama, some bad talk goin' around goin' around town Sayin' that Papa had three outside children and another wife And that ain't right Hey, talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching Talking about saving your soul And all the time leaching Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth And Mama hung her head and said Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Hey Mama 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 Folks say Papa wasn't much on thinkin' Spent most of his life chasin' women and drinking Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, Son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone ------- |
