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
