Bertha

[Verse 1]

I had a hard run

Running from your window

I was all night running

Lord, I wonder if you care?

I had a run-in

Run around and run down

Run around the corner

Lord, I run smack into a tree

[Chorus]

I had to move

Really had to move

That's why, if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha, don't you come around here anymore

[Verse 2]

Dressed myself in green

I went down to the sea

Try to see what's going down

Lord, try to read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling

Lord, I turned around to see

Heard a voice calling

Lord, you was coming after me

[Chorus]

I had to move

Really had to move

That's why, if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha, don't you come around here anymore

Anymore

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Ran into a rainstorm

Ducked back into a bar door

It was all night pouring, pouring rain

Lord, but not a drop on me

Test me, test me, test me, test me

Why don't you arrest me?

Throw me into the jail house

Lord, until the sun goes down

[Chorus]

I had to move

Really had to move

That's why, if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha, don't you come around here anymore

[Outro]

I had to move

Really had to move

That's why, if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha, don't you come around here anymore

Anymore, anymore, anymore
