This man he was runnin' after Roberta

And Roberta was runnin' on a passenger train

And every station she would pass

This rascal'd 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's sitting down on the ground

And so when the steamboat'd

get to the landin'

The rascal would be right there

lookin' 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 mmmm

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 goin' to the station

Go tell the chief police

Yes I'm goin' 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-prob'ly 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
