...PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE... by The Temptations ------------------------------................... *from 'All Directions' (1972)* Verse 1: Em It was the third of September; Am That day I'll always re-member, Em 'Cos that was the day that my daddy died. Em I never got a chance to see him; Never heard nothin' but, Am Bad things about him. Mama I'm depending on you; Em To tell me the truth. Chorus 1: (Spoken): Mama just hung her head and said, "Son... Em Papa was a rollin' stone; Am Wherever he laid his hat, was his home. Em And when his died; Am Em All he left us was a-lone." Verse 2: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/temptations/109464.html ] Em Hey, mama, I heard Papa, Call himself a jack of all trades; Tell me, is that what sent Papa, Am To an early grave? Folks say Papa would beg, Em Borrow or steal to pay his bills. Hey, Mama, folks say; Papa was never much on thinkin'; Spend most of his time, Am Chasin' women and drinkin'! Mama I'm depending on you; Em To tell me the truth. Chorus 2: (Spoken): Mama just hung her head and said, "Son... Em Papa was a rollin' stone; Am Wherever he laid his hat, was his home. Em And when his died; Am Em All he left us was a-lone."
