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 nothing but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth
And 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"
Well, well
Hey Mama, is it true what they say
that Papa never worked a day in his life
And Mama, some bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife
And that ain't right
Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching
Talked about saving souls and all the time leaching
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord
Mama 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
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone"
Ugh
Hey Mama, I heard Papa called 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 that Papa was never much on thinking
Spent most of his life chasing women and drinking
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
And Mama 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"
"I said, Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(And when he died) All he left us was alone"
前回からの流れでこれになっちゃった。ちょっと濃いめですね。

おおおお！でたね。正に黄金期のテムプスだ！これは渋谷公会堂で見ましたよ！1973年。常にゴージャスなように見えて、ストリートに生きるテムプスとNorman Whitefield=Barrett Strongの傑作っす。歌詞は、濃いよね〜。歌詞は読んで字の如しと言うか、ならず者のおと〜ちゃんのこと、凄いよね。
一生マジで働かいたことはないし、帽子を脱いだところがいつも家で、外に3人の子供と別の奥さん、「俺は何でもできる、大物だぜ」といいながらも借金払うために、やってたことは、かっぱらいや、借金や、物乞い、泥棒って暮らし、ときには神様の名をかたったり、ホラ話ばっかり。女と酒のことだけ考えてのその日暮らし。
これだけやれば"sent Papa to an early grave"で当たり前だ！
ところで、僕のサイト見ればわかるんだけど、この曲の時制を
現在進行形や現在形にする、某所の僕のＩＤになります>大爆
でもまだ生きてるから、OKだな、あはははは
あと、この曲の冒頭の"It was the third of September."これね、実は当時のリードのDennis Edwardsのお父さんが9/3に亡くなってて、それをNorman Whitefieldがあえて歌詞にいれたって話だよね。Soul On!かなんかで見た覚えある。怒ってるよね、Dennis、リハのときに歌詞見てどうおもったのかな。それを読みきってる、Norman=Barrettのライターコムビも凄い。
それと有名な、"Wherever he laid his hat was his home"このフレーズ、
実はNorman WhitefieldとBarrett StrongがMarvin Gayeと共作した、"Wherever I Lay My Hat Thats My Home"この曲と比べると面白いね。ライターってのは、ノリと鋏ではないけど、イメージの膨らませ方が尋常ではないぜ。Marvinのはアルバム"Stubborn Kind Of Fellow"のA面ラストというか、CDの5曲目にはいってるけど、まったく雰囲気も曲の感じもまったく違うぜ！
参考までにどうぞ
WHEREVER I LAY MY HAT (THAT'S MY HOME)
By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry.
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
for I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
I'm telling you that's my home.
You had romance, did you break it by chance
over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
that I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, mm,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
mm, that's my home.
Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me I'm your man.
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy who gives girl the eye,
everybody knows.
But I love them and I leave them,
break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go.
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home.
wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,
that's my home
and I like it that way.
ともかく、Solidなファンキー時代のテムプスを聞くと、生き残りのOtis WilliamsがRap=Hip Hopを聞いて、「なんじゃ、俺らの物まねかい！、がはははは」と笑ってる姿がみえるようだぜ！！

いろいろ、コメントしたいところ、たくさんあったのですが‥敢て、ここに残します。（笑）
初めまして、Kokoさん、皆様。
Tempsの中では、ピカいちに好きな、Papa〜の歌詞。初めて聴いた時は、「すごいおとうさんや‥」と思ったけど、あの時代、こういうパパさんは結構いたとの事で‥。時代が、時代ですから‥。こういうPapaを見て育った、男の子がうちの旦那でして、亡くなる事はなかったけど、Rolling Stone いつも帽子をかぶっているところなど、まさに、Papa was a rolling stone ‥。今は、もちろん、落ち着いているけれど。
Dennisのパパの命日と重なったのは、有名ですよね。怒りに滲み出てますもん、声に。
長い曲だけど、全然物足りないくらい、もっともっと長くして欲しい、１曲ですね。詩も、曲も、最高に好きです。

あれは、最初はマザコン歌だとおもってた＞笑
Rare Earthの"Ma"とかも同じで、
彼らの社会は、やはり、おかん中心なんですね。
Three Dog Nightの"Mama Told Me Not To Come"とかは
Pickettも歌ってるけど、逆にやばそうです＞大爆
Want some whiskey in your water
Sugar in your tea
What's all these crazy questions they askin' me
This is the craziest party there could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no
Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
From the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout scared me half to death
Open up the window, sucker
Let me catch my breath
[Refrain]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son
The radio is blastin'
Someone's knocking at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is
I don't wanna see no more
[Refrain]
Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me
Told me, told me
That ain't no way to have fun, whoah, yeah yeah
Mama told me not to come
Mama, mama, mama told me
That ain't no way to have fun
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

黒豹さん、
昔「サザエさん」(アニメでなく原作の方）の中で、中年のオヤジが年取ったおふくろさんをオンブして、世話をやいているのを、外からみた女の子たちが「乳離れしていないんじゃない？」とヒソヒソやっていて、そのオヤジが「昔は親孝行と言ったものだ！」と怒っていた話を思い出しました(笑）。
>Three Dog Nightの"Mama Told Me Not To Come"
今にして思えば、この歌って、結構ブッとんでましたよね。
まぁ、作者のRandy Newmanが凄かったのか。
今誰かがカヴァーすれば、もろラップになってしまうのかな？
