Papa Was A Rolling Stone (Made Famous by The Temptations)

Papa Was A Rolling Stone (Made Famous by The Temptations) - Soul Music Sensations

It was the third of September

The day I'll always remember

The song 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

Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Mama just looked at him and said Son

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin' 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 the say

That Papa never worked a day in his life

And Mama they talk all around town say that

Papa had three outside children and another wife

And that ain't right

Heard them talkin' about Papa doing

Some storefront preachin'

Talkin' about saving your

Souls and all the time weak

Dealin' in death

And stealin' in the name of the Lord

Mama just hung her head and said

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when his died

All he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when his died

All he left us was alone

Hey Mama I heard Papa call himself

A jack of all trades

Tell me is that what

Sent Papa to an early grave

Folks say Papa would beg

Borrow or steal to pay his bills

Hey Mama folks say Papa

Was never much on thinkin'

Spend most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'

Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Mama just hung her head and said Son

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his head was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his head was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone

Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his head was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone
