Bertha (Live)

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 a corner

And rush back into a tree

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

Dressed myself in green

Lord, I went down to the sea

Try to see what's going down

Maybe read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling, falling

Turned around to see

I heard a voice calling, calling

You was coming after me

Back to me

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

Ran into a rainstorm

And I ducked back into a bar door

It was all night pouring

Overnight a-drown on me

Test me, test me, test me

Why don't you arrest me

Throw me into the jailhouse

Lord, until the sun goes down

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

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
