Roberta‑Part 1
 

Oh Roberta : honey where you been so long
You done been across the country : a‑with my long clothes on

Oh Roberta : sit down on my knee
Got a lot to tell you : a‑that's been worrying me

Way up the river : far as I can see
Lord I thought I spied : my old‑time used‑to‑be

Lord I thought I spied : my old‑time used‑to‑be
And it was nothing : honey but a cypress tree

Honey I'm down on the river : sitting out on the ground
Well I'll stay right here Lord : until Roberta come down
