Papa Was a Rollin' Stone (Acapella Version) - Great 'O' Music
Written by：Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong
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 nothing but bad things about him
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
And momma just hung her head 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 my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Well well
Hey mama is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life
And mama some bad talk going round town
Saying that papa had three outside children and another wife
And that ain't right
Heard them talking papa doing some store front preaching
Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the lord
Mama just hung her head and said
Papa was a rolling stone my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Hey papa was a rolling stone my son
Well well well
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
