Roberta Lyrics

Oh, Roberta, tell me how long, how long
Oh, Roberta, tell me how long, how long
You gonna keep me down here, baby
Singing this same old 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'd find my old-timey, so easy

She's a brownskin woman and she got long, black, wavy hair
She′s a brownskin woman, got long, black, wavy hair
That woman look so good, baby
She can lead me most anywhere

I′m going to the station, talk to that chief of police
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 calling you?
Oh, Roberta, you hear me calling you?
I got just one more thing, baby
I want you to do
