This man he was runnin after Roberta

And Roberta was runnin on a passenger train

And every station she would pass

This rascal be sittin right down there lookin for her

She got tired of lookin at the rascal

She goes and run on the steamboat

And when the steamboat was passin along

He sitting down on the ground

And so when the steamboat get to the landin

The rascal would be right there lookin in Roberta 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 mmmm

Honey way you treat me sure I ever seen

looked at Roberta and he talked to her

Roberta wouldn 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 goin to the station

Go tell the chief police

Yes I goin to the station

Go tell the chief police

Roberta done quit me

I can see no peace

police asked him

in the world you gonna know Roberta from any other brown skin

The black women is brown skin

They got so much high brown powder

You can tell a black woman from a brown skin

He looked at the police and here what he said

She a brown skin woman Got black wavy hair

She a brown skin woman Got black wavy hair

And I can describe her

A 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 the matter with you

Tell me Roberta What the matter with you

This man ain got nobody

To take his troubles to
