Oh, Roberta tell me how long, how long |
|
Oh, Roberta tell me how long, how long |
|
Are you gonna keep me down here, baby |
|
Singing this same ol' song |
|
I'm down on the river |
|
Sitting down on the ground |
|
I'm down on the river |
|
Sitting down on the ground |
|
I'm gonna stay right here |
|
Until that steamboat come down |
|
Way up the river |
|
Just as far as I can see |
|
Way up the river |
|
Just as far as I can see |
|
I thought I spied my old time used to be |
|
She's a brown-skinned woman |
|
And she got long, black wavy hair |
|
She's a brown-skinned woman |
|
And she got long, black wavy hair |
|
That woman looks so good, baby |
|
She can lead me most anywhere |
|
I'm going to the station, talk to that chief of police |
|
(what you gonna tell him?) |
|
I'm going to the station, talk to that chief of police |
|
Tell him that Roberta done quit me |
|
I can't see no peace |
|
Oh, Roberta, don't you hear me callin' you? |
|
Oh, Roberta, you hear me callin' you? |
|
I got just one more thing, baby |
|
I want you to do |
