Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - The Undisputed Truth

Written by：Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield

It was the third of September

That day I'll always remember yes I will

'Cause that was the day that my daddy died

Papa died will be they young

I never got a chance to see him

Never heard nothin' but bad things about

Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Mama looked up 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

Hey Mama is it true what they say

That Papa never worked a day in his life

And Mama there's some bad talk goin around town

Sayin that Papa had three outside children and another wife

And that ain't right

Hey heard some talk about Papa doing some storefront preaching

Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching

Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord

Mama just looked up and said

Papa was a rolling stone yeah

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone ooooooh

Mama mama 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 or steal to pay his bills

I wanna know mama

Folks say papa was never much on thinkin'

Spent most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'

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 son

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone oooooh

Papa was a rolling stone
