Daryl Hall, Train. - Papa Was A Rolin' Stone
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin'
But bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you
To tell me the truth
Momma 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 yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Hey Momma
Is it true what they say that
Papa never worked a day in his life
And Momma some bad talk
Goin' round town sayin' that
Papa had three outside children
And another wife and that ain't right
Heard some talk Papa doing
Some storefront preachin'
Talking about saving souls
And all the time leechin'
Dealing in dirt and stealing
In the name of the Lord
Momma just hung her head and said
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 Papa was a rolling stone (dad gumma it)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Hey Momma
I heard Papa called himself
A jackofalltrades
Tell me is that what sent Papa
To an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg borrow steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time
Chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you
To tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear
In her eye and said son
Papa was a rolling stone
(well well well well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
(lone lone lone alone)
Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone
My daddy was
Papa was a rolling stone (yes he was yeah)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home)...

땅의 법칙'(1973)에 수록되었다.고 기록되어 있습니다.
원곡은 잘 아시는 The Temptations 의 곡입니다.
이 명곡은 처음부터 사랑 받은 것은 아니였고 휘트필드가 재 녹음해서 73년 앨범으로 다시
발표 합니다.발표하자 마자 빌보드 1위를 기록하면서 그레미 어워드 3회 수상하는등 엄청난
인기를 누립니다. 수많은 후배들이 불렀고 지금도 후배들이 녹음 하는등 열기는 식지 않죠.
2011년 데릴 홀과 세션 트레인이 함께 이 노래를 커버합니다. 듣죠.
