Ballad Of Robert Lyrics


Robert Robert Robert
Down at the halfway house house
Robert down at the halfway house
He's livin' at the halfway house
The halfway house
You know the halfway house
It's got a?
They put a cross on your back and you get real mean
Down at the halfway house
Robert (ha ha) at the halfway house
He's got a cross on your back
He's got roller skates and the're hitched up to his feet
He goes right down the street on the roller skates
They're from the halfway house
Ya' know this man Robert
He's no man he ain't no mouse
He's from the halfway house
Tell him he's from the halfway house

Now the doctor says good morning
And Robert looked up 'n he had blisters on his fingers
And the doctor said "Robert, Robert" he said "Robert"
"You are not the halfway house, the halfway house"
He's Robert from the halfway house

Jandek is a musician, presumably from Houston, Texas. Since 1978, he has self-released 71 albums of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk and blues songs without ever granting a real interview or providing any biographical information. Jandek plays a very strange and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, often using an open and unconventional chord structure. Jandek's music is unique, but his lyrics closely mirror the country blues and folk traditions of Eastern Texas.
