Papa Was a Rollin' Stone - The Temptations
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
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
Ohh 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 well well
Hey Momma
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day in his life
And Momma 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 reaching
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the law
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
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Oh
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)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Papa was a rolling stone oh)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was 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
