Artist: George Michael Album: Five Live (1993) Title: Papa Was A Rolling Stone [Live]
Lyrics Papa Was A Rolling Stone [Live]It was the third of september That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
Never had a chance to see him, no Never heard nothin, but bad things about him Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama just hung her head and said
(Chorus)
Papa was a rollin' stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone (repeat)
Hey, mama, is it true what they say That papa never worked a day in his life Some bad talks going around sayin Papa had three outside children And another wife That ain't right
Heard some talks about papa and his storefront Preachin' Talkin' about saving souls and all the time Leaching And dealing in the dirt Stealin' in the name of the lord But mama she just said
(Chorus)
Papa was a rollin' stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone (repeat)
Say, I heard my papa was a jack of all trades Is that what sent papa to an early grave? Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal just To pay his bills Hey, mama, folks say papa was ever much on thinkin' Spent most of this time chasin' women and drinkin' But mother, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth But my mama she just said
(Chorus 2x)
Papa was a rollin' stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone (repeat)
But my mama she said
Papa was a rollin' stone Oh my mama said Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died All he left us was alone (repeat)
All he left us All he left us
Can you believe he left us?
All alone yeah All alone yeah All alone yeah
Yeah |
