(Dolly Parton)       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, 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, 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, oh Robert...
