《Papa Was A Rolling Stone》歌词

[00:00:00] Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Was (Not Was)

[00:01:13] It was the third of September

[00:01:17] That day I'll always remember yes I will

[00:01:22] 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died

[00:01:31] I never had a chance to see him

[00:01:36] Never heard nothing but bad things about him

[00:01:40] Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

[00:01:46] Mama looked up and said son

[00:01:48] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:01:52] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:01:57] And when he died all he left us was alone

[00:02:05] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:02:09] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:02:13] And when he died all he left us was alone

[00:02:25] Where the hell are you daddy that's what I'm saying

[00:02:28] Down on my knees and tears and I'm praying

[00:02:30] Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true

[00:02:32] So I could feel like the other kids do

[00:02:34] A young child but not complete as a whole

[00:02:36] Before I was born you up and strolled

[00:02:38] Mama was there but you was up in the wind

[00:02:40] You never even knew my name and then

[00:02:42] You never wrote called let alone came by

[00:02:44] As a youth it was hard to wonder why

[00:02:46] But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity

[00:02:48] Thinking about the life you didn't give me

[00:02:51] I remember when I used to tell lies

[00:02:52] When people would ask I'd just fantasize

[00:02:55] Thinking of stories to make you look good

[00:02:57] But the real truth was you was never no good

[00:02:59] People would say I looked just like you

[00:03:01] But rest assured I don't act like you

[00:03:03] I'm more than that my mama raised me better

[00:03:05] And you can best believe I'm much more together

[00:03:09] So belive that

[00:03:10] Mama is it true what they say

[00:03:13] That papa never worked a day in his life

[00:03:18] And mama there's some bad talk going round town

[00:03:21] That papa had three out-side children

[00:03:23] And another wife and that ain't right

[00:03:29] Heard some talk about papa

[00:03:29] Papa doing some store-front preching

[00:03:33] Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching

[00:03:36] Dealing in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord

[00:03:43] Mama looked up and said son

[00:03:45] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:03:49] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:03:53] And when he died all he left us was alone

[00:04:02] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:04:05] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:04:10] And when he died all he left us was alone

[00:04:22] It's been said you gave me something you never had

[00:04:24] But that's not always true and it's sad

[00:04:26] To find myself missing you when I did

[00:04:28] But who knows the reasons why you did what you did

[00:04:31] I can't help but wonder why

[00:04:33] You lived your life as a big fat lie

[00:04:35] You act like you had no responsibilities

[00:04:37] 'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be

[00:04:39] Stealing begging hustling and scheming

[00:04:41] You could'a got a job

[00:04:42] But did you know the meaning of work

[00:04:44] I'm talking about an honest day's pay

[00:04:45] But you was too lazy to be that way

[00:04:47] Always trying to take the easy route

[00:04:49] That's what they tell me so I don't doubt

[00:04:51] It for a moment not for a sec

[00:04:53] Because you lacked all your self respect

[00:04:56] But it's too late for you that is

[00:04:58] Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz

[00:05:00] And so it's time to put the past behind

[00:05:02] Erase the anger and clear my mind

[00:05:04] I want to forget the little bit I know

[00:05:06] And make sure that I never sink so low

[00:05:08] 'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know

[00:05:10] That I was always there because I loved them so

[00:05:12] And that's the least thing that I can do

[00:05:14] But that's a lot more than I got from you

[00:05:16] I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades

[00:05:21] Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave

[00:05:25] Folks say papa would beg borrow or steal

[00:05:29] To pay his bills

[00:05:32] Hey mama folks say papa wasn't much on thinking

[00:05:38] Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking

[00:05:42] Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

[00:05:50] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:05:54] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:05:58] And when he died all he left us was alone

[00:06:07] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:06:11] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:06:15] And when he died all he left us was alone

[00:06:23] Papa was a rolling stone

[00:06:28] Wherever he laid his hat was his home

[00:06:32] And when he died all he left us was alone
