Roberta Part II - Lead Belly (利德·贝利)[00:00:00]
This man he was runnin' after Roberta[00:00:27]
And Roberta was runnin' on a passenger train[00:00:30]
And every station she would pass[00:00:34]
This rascal'd be sittin' right down there lookin' for her[00:00:36]
She got tired of lookin' at the rascal[00:00:39]
She goes and run on the steamboat[00:00:41]
And when the steamboat was passin' along[00:00:44]
He's sitting down on the ground[00:00:46]
And so when the steamboat'd get to the landin'[00:00:49]
The rascal would be right there lookin' in Roberta's face[00:00:52]
So when Roberta come off the steamboat[00:00:55]
He looked up and he walked up and he talked to her[00:00:57]
Oh Roberta What in the world you mean [00:01:00]
Tell me Roberta What in the world you mmmm [00:01:07]
Honey way you treat me sure I ever seen[00:01:14]
He looked at Roberta and he talked to her[00:01:17]
Roberta wouldn't pay him no attention[00:01:23]
He tore up to the police station[00:01:25]
And he told the chief police[00:01:28]
When he got there here what he said to the chief police[00:01:30]
Lord I'm goin' to the station[00:01:33]
Go tell the chief police[00:01:36]
Yes I'm goin' to the station[00:01:40]
Go tell the chief police[00:01:43]

"How in the world you gonna know Roberta from any other brown skin [00:01:54]
'Cause all of 'em is brown skin now[00:01:58]
The black women is brown skin[00:02:00]
They got so much high brown powder[00:02:02]
You can't tell a black woman from a brown skin"[00:02:03]
He looked at the police and here what he said[00:02:07]
She's a brown skin woman Got black wavy hair[00:02:09]
She's a brown skin woman Got black wavy hair[00:02:16]
And I can describe her[00:02:22]
A-prob'ly most anywhere[00:02:25]
The police man goes on down to the landing with him[00:02:28]
And walked up and talked to Roberta [00:02:31]
Here' what the police told her[00:02:33]
Tell me Roberta What's the matter with you [00:02:34]
Tell me Roberta What's the matter with you [00:02:41]
