Roberta Lyrics

Roberta - Lead Belly (利德·贝利)

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
