Papa Was a Rollin' Stone - 70s Music All Stars
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 nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
And momma just hung her head and said
Son 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
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 momma is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life
And momma some bad talk goin' round town
Sayin' that papa had three outside children and another wife
And that ain't right
Heard them talking papa doing some store front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the lord
Momma 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
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Uh
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 that 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
And momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said
Son papa was a rolling stone
Well well well well
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Lone lone lone alone
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
I 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
