Papa Was A Rollin' Stone (Single Version)

作词 : Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong
 作曲 : 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  nothing  but  bad  things  about  him.
Mama,I'm  depending  on  you,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,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  doing  some  store  front  preaching.
Talking  about  saving  souls  and  all  the  time  leeching.
Dealing  in  debt  and  stealing  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.
Mama  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.
Wherever  he  laid  his  hat  was  his  home.
（And  when  he  died）All  he  left  us  was  ALONE."
Uh!
Hey  Mama,I  heard  Papa  call  himself  a  jack  of  all  trade.
Tell  me  is  that  what  sent  Papa  to  an  early  grave?
Folk  say  Papa  would  beg,borrow,steal  to  pay  his  bill.
Hey  Mama,folk  say  that  Papa  was  never  much  on  thinking.
Spent  most  of  his  time  chasing  women  and  drinking.
Mama,I'm  depending  on  you  to  tell  me  the  truth.
Mama  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."
"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.
Wherever  he  laid  his  hat  was  his  home.
（And  when  he  died）All  he  left  us  was  ALONE."
