Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - The Undisputed Truth[00:00:01]
Written by:Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield[00:00:09]
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 that my daddy died[00:00:40]
Papa died will be they young[00:00:46]
I never got a chance to see him[00:00:49]
Never heard nothin' but bad things about[00:00:53]
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth[00:00:57]
Mama looked up and said son[00:01:03]
Papa was a rolling stone[00:01:05]
Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:01:10]
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[00:01:23]
And Mama there's some bad talk goin around town[00:01:28]
Sayin that Papa had three outside children and another wife[00:01:31]
And that ain't right[00:01:35]
Hey heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching[00:01:36]
Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching[00:01:42]
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord[00:01:46]
Mama just looked up and said[00:01:51]
Papa was a rolling stone yeah[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 ooooooh[00:02:04]
Mama mama mama[00:02:25]
I heard papa called himself a jack of all trades[00:02:27]
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]
I wanna know mama[00:02:42]
Folks say papa was never much on thinkin'[00:02:44]
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]
And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said son[00:02:57]
Papa was a rolling stone son[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 oooooh[00:03:10]
Papa was a rolling stone[00:03:17]
