Oh, Roberta Baby, tell me where you been so long? I been 'cross the country With my long clothes on I went down on the river I sit down on the ground I went down on the river I sit down on the ground I'm gonna stay right here, Lord 'Til Roberta come down Go, Roberta Tell me how long, how long? Yeah-hoo Tell me how long, how long? I'm gonna wait for you, baby I've gotta see ya since you been gone Spoken: Now, this woman was an old buddy She's a good-lookin' woman She has black wavy hair, but when she straighten it And she run away from this man And she got to runnin' on a steamboat, go on a train But he's been runnin' around for six months tryin' to find her. And he'd stand on the banks of the river And ev'ry boat that come along He'd look up the river and come do some cryin': Way, de river up, far as I can see Way-ay, up de river, just as far as I can see Lord, I thought I find my old time used to be She was a brown-skin woman She had black wavy hair She was a brown-skin woman She had black wavy hair And I can't 'subcribe' her They de most seen anywhere I'm goin to the station I'm gonna and talk to the chief police Yeah-hoo-oo, talk to the chief police Roberta done quit me I can't see no peace. ~ Thanks to Awcantor
