the temptations – papa was a rolling stone – single version lyrics
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
momma just hung her head and said, son
[chorus]
papa was a rolling stone
where ever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died, all he left us was alone
papa was a rolling stone, (my son, yeah)
where ever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died, all he left us was alone
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 some talk papa doing some store front preachin’
talking about saving souls and all the time leechin’
dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the lord
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, (dad gumma it)
where ever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died, all he left us was alone
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, well)
where ever 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
where ever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died, all he left us was alone
(i said) papa was a rolling stone, (yes he was my son)
where ever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died, all he left us was alone
(my daddy was, yes he was, yeah he was)
(papa was a rolling stone
where ever he laid his hat was his home)
