Testo Papa Was a Rollin' Stone - Slash
Testo della canzone Papa Was a Rollin' Stone (Slash), tratta dall'album Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T Festival
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember
Yes, I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died, yeah
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama, I'm dependin' on you to tell me the truth
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 alone"
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died)
All he left us was alone"
Hey, mama, is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life?
Oh, mama, some bad talk's goin' around town sayin' papa had three outside children
And another wife and that ain't right
Heard some talk, papa doing some storefront preachin'
Talkin' 'bout saving souls and all the time leechin'
Dealin' in debt and stealin' in the name of the Lord
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 alone (hey, hey, hey)
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone, ho-ho, yeah"
Hey, mama
I heard papa call 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 papa never was much on thinkin'
Spent most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'
Mama, I'm dependin' on you to tell me the truth
Mama looked up with a tear in her eye 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 alone
Papa was a rolling stone, my son
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone"
Ooh-whoo, whoo, whoo
Ooh-whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Oh, yeah, yeah
