The Temptations - Papa was a rolling stone

Izvajalec besedila pesmi je The Temptations.

It was the third of September
the 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.
Mama 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,
wherever he laid his hat was his home,
and when he died
all he left us was alone."

Hey mama, is it true what they say
that papa never worked a day in his life?

And mama, there's talk goin' 'round town sayin' that papa
had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.

Heard talk about papa doin' some storefront prechin'.
Talkin' about saving souls and all the time leachin'
Dealing in death and stealing in the name of the Lord.
Mama 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,
wherever he laid his hat was his home,
and when he died
all he left us was alone."

Hey mama, I heard papa called himself a Jack-of-all-trades,
thats what sent papa to an early grave.
Folks say papa would beg, borrow, steal
to pay his bills.
Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin'.
Spent most of his time chasin' women and drinking.
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.
Mama 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,
wherever he laid his hat was his home,
and when he died
all he left us was alone.

Papa was a rolling stone,
wherever he laid his hat was his home,
and when he died
all he left us was alone."
