The Temptations

Flex4nobody said...: 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
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

And 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, my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone"

Well, well

Hey, mama, is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life?
And mama, some bad talk going around town saying
That papa had three outside children and another wife
And that ain't right

Heard some talk about papa doin' some store-front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord

"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
Yes, he was, my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone"
