[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."
[02:44.47] "Papa was a rolling stone,my son.
[02:48.71] Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[02:52.12] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[02:59.26] Well,well.
[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.
[03:47.46] HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
[03:51.91] Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching.
[03:55.46] Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.
[04:01.45] Mama just hung her head and said,
[04:03.35] "Papa was a rolling stone,my son.
[04:07.90] Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[04:11.05] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[04:18.76] "Hey,Papa was a rolling stone.
[04:23.56] Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[04:27.01] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[04:34.36] Uh!
[04:58.41] Hey Mama,I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
[05:02.96] Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
[05:07.36] Folk say Papa would beg,borrow,steal to pay his bill.
[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.
[05:38.73] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[05:46.86] "Papa was a rolling stone.
[05:51.22] Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[05:54.67] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
[06:01.46] "I said,Papa was a rolling stone.
[06:07.22] Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
[06:10.77] （And when he died）All he left us was ALONE."
