Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - The Undisputed Truth[00:00:00]
Written by:Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong[00:00:03]
It was the third of September[00:00:31]
That day I'll always remember yes I will[00:00:35]
'Cause that was the day my daddy died[00:00:40]
I never got a chance to see him[00:00:49]
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him[00:00:53]
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth[00:00:57]
And mama just hung her head and said son[00:01:03]
Papa was a rolling stone[00:01:05]
Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:01:09]
And when he died[00:01:13]
All he left us was alone[00:01:15]
Hey mama is it true what they say[00:01:20]
That papa never worked a day in his life[00:01:24]
And mama some bad talk going around town[00:01:28]
Saying that papa had three outside children and another wife[00:01:31]
And that ain't right[00:01:35]
Heard some talk about papa doing some storefront preaching[00:01:38]
Talking about saving your souls[00:01:42]
And all the time leeching[00:01:44]
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the lord[00:01:46]
Mama just hung her head and said[00:01:50]
Papa was a rolling stone[00:01:54]
Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:01:58]
And when he died[00:02:02]
All he left us was alone[00:02:04]
Mama mama I heard papa called himself a jack of all trades[00:02:25]
Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave[00:02:31]
Folks say papa would beg borrow or steal to pay his bills[00:02:35]
Folks say papa was never much on thinkin'[00:02:43]
Spent most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'[00:02:48]
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth[00:02:52]
With a tear in her eye and said son[00:02:57]
Papa was a rolling stone[00:03:00]
Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:03:04]
And when he died[00:03:08]
All he left us was alone[00:03:10]
Papa was a rolling stone[00:03:16]
