[ti:Papa Was A Rollin' Stone] [ar:The Temptations] [01:55.39]It was the third of September. [01:59.36]That day I'll always remember,yes I will. [02:04.31]'Cause that was the day that my daddy died. [02:12.61]I never got a chance to see him. [02:16.56]Never heard nothing but bad things about him. [02:20.80]Mama,I'm depending on you,tell me the truth. [02:25.96]And Mama just hung her head and said, [02:27.61]"Son,Papa was a rolling stone. [02:32.92]Wherever he laid his hat was his home. [02:36.42](And when he died)All he left us was ALONE."

[03:30.37]Hey Mama,is it true what they say, [03:33.06]that Papa never worked a day in his life? [03:37.96]And Mama,bad talk going around town [03:41.33]saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife. [03:45.83]And that ain't right.

[05:13.47]Hey Mama,folk say that Papa was never much on thinking. [05:19.26]Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking. [05:23.01]Mama,I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. [05:28.66]Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, [05:30.56]"Son,Papa was a rolling stone. [05:33.17](Well,well,well,well) [05:35.27]Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
