Lyrics Roberta - Leadbelly
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
