Roberta歌词完整版
Roberta (2003 Remastered) - Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter
This man he was running after Roberta
And Roberta was running on a passenger train
And every station she would pass
This rascal's be sitting
Right down there looking for her
She got tired of looking at the rascal
She goes and run on the steamboat
And when the steamboat was passing along
He's sitting down on the ground
And so when the steamboat's get to the landing
The rascal would be right
There looking in Roberta's face
So when Roberta come off the steamboat
He looked up and he walked up and he talked to her
Oh Roberta what in the world you mean
Tell me Roberta what in the world you
Honey way you treat me sure I ever seen
He looked at Roberta and he talked to her
Roberta wouldn't pay him no attention
He tore up to the police station
And he told the chief police
When he got there here what he said to the chief police
Lord I'm going to the station
Go tell the chief police
Yes I'm going to the station
Go tell the chief police
Roberta done quit me
I can't see no peace
The police asked him
How in the world you gonna know
Roberta from any other brown skin
'Cause all of 'em is brown skin now
The black women is brown skin
They got so much high brown powder
You can't tell a black woman from a brown skin
He looked at the police and here what he said
She's a brown skin woman got black wavy hair
She's a brown skin woman got black wavy hair
And I can describe her
A probity most anywhere
The police man goes on down to the landing with him
And walked up and talked to Roberta
Here' what the police told her
Tell me Roberta what's the matter with you
Tell me Roberta what's the matter with you
This man ain't got nobody
To take his troubles to
