...PAPA WAS A ROLLIN' STONE... by The Temptations E|------------------------------...................| *from 'All Directions' (1972)* [Intro] Bbm [Verse 1] Bbm It was the third of September; that day I'll always re-member, yes I will Bbm 'Cos that was the day, that my daddy died. Bbm I never got a chance to see him; Bbm Never heard nothin' but bad things about him. Bbm Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth. Bbm (Spoken): Mama just hung her head and said; son... [Chorus] Bbm Papa was a rollin' stone; Bbm wherever he laid his hat, was his home. Bbm And when he died, all he left us was alone. Bbm Papa was a rollin' stone, my son, yeah; Bbm wherever he laid his hat, was his home. Bbm And when he died, all he left us was alo-o-o-ne.

Bbm Folks say Papa would beg borrow or steal to pay his bills. Bbm Hey, Mama, folks say Papa never was much on thinkin'; Bbm Spend most of his time chasin' women and drinkin' Bbm Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth. Bbm (Spoken) Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said; "son... [Chorus] Bbm Papa was a rollin' stone, my son; Bbm wherever he laid his hat, was his home.
