LYRICS / TESTO: 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 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, yeah) Wherever 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 storefront 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) Wherever 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) Wherever 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 Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone My daddy was Papa was a rolling stone (yes he was, yeah) Wherever he laid his hat was his home.

Big thumbs up to DrHeinz....this mix version of "Papa Was A Rolling Stone " is cooler than cool and smoother than smooth and the stage performers are first class ....and surely some might be tempted to light up a giant spliff to really enjoy this extraordinary mix .

[@z.q.m.pz.5575]

That's a damn lie, and anyone with an intelligent brain would know better.

[@whicker59]

It had rhythm, soulful feeling, great beat, easy to dance to, made u clap & tap. Then came RAPCRAP and ruined everything and got folks wacked.

Man, the Temptations have thinned out the numbers, filmed during a flu epidemic ? Funky as hell though. I kept thinking he was going to kick that old sound city pa amp. Now that was an old banger for sure.

[@dougrebertus1992]

They're using the soprano sax instead.

[@tonioroffo6414]
