The Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone Live in Belgium 1999

private party

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 a loan"

"Papa was a rolling stone, my son

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was a loan"

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

Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching

Talked 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 a loan"

"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was a loan"

Ugh

Hey Mama, 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 Mama, folks say that Papa was never much on thinking

Spent most of his life chasing women and drinking

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

And 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 a loan"

"Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was a loan"

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was a loan"

Hard to believe Richard, Damon, and Ali have all passed away. But this is a great performance. Dont know the bass singer, but he is high quality.
