(As by the Temptations)

BARRETT

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

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

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

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

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

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