Luyện nghe bài hát Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

(As by the Temptations)
WHITFIELD
BARRETT

It was the third of September, day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him, never heard but bad things about him
Mama I'm on you, to tell me the truth
Mama hung her head and said son

was a rollin' stone, wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he us was alone, oh
Papa was a rollin' stone, (my son yeah) wherever he laid his hat was his
And he died, all he left us was alone, well well

Hey mama, is it true what they say that never worked a day in his life
And mama, some bad talk goin' around town sayin' that papa had outside children
And wife... and that ain't right
Heard some talk papa doin' some store front preachin'
Talkin' about savin' souls and all the leechin', dealin' in dirt
And in the name of the Lord
Mama just hung her head and

Papa was a rollin' stone, (my son) wherever he laid his hat was his
And when he died, all he left us was
Hey, papa was a rollin' stone, (dadgummit) wherever he his hat was his home
And when he died, all he us was alone, ooh

Hey mama, I papa call himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that sent papa to an early grave?
Folks say would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills
Hey mama, folks say never was much on thinkin'
Spent most of his time chasin' and drinkin'
Mama I'm depending on you to me the truth
Mama looked up a tear in her eye and said son

Papa was a rollin' stone, (well, well, well, well) he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he us was alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Papa was a rollin' stone, (uh huh) he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone, I

Papa was a stone, (yes he was now) wherever he laid his hat was his home
And he died, all he left us was alone.
