Robert's appearance is something to behold
|
Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes
|
My mamma sews my clothes cause I'm just a poor girl
|
But Robert is as real as his daddies gold
|
|
Robert could have any girl that he wanted
|
But his feelings for me each day seems to grow
|
He don't know the reason, that he's so drawn to me
|
But there is a story that Robert doesn't know
|
|
Oh Robert
|
Oh Robert
|
|
Robert is constantly making eyes at me
|
He misunderstands the feelings we share
|
There's no way that I can return his glances
|
But I know the meaning of the feeling that's there
|
|
Robert if you knew, there once was a rich boy
|
In love with a poor girl, long time ago
|
But the folks of that rich boy, would not let them marry
|
And I am a symbol of the love that they stole
|
|
Oh Robert
|
Oh Robert
|
|
Robert, oh Robert if you only knew
|
The same blood is flowing in both me and you
|
That rich boy's your father, but he's also mine
|
And my mamma's the poor girl that he left behind
|
|
Oh Robert
|
Oh Robert
|
