Bertha

I had a hard run, running from your window
I was all night running, running; lord, I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in, run around and a run down
Run around a corner, corner, lord, I run smack 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, falling, lord turned around to see
Heard a voice calling, calling, calling, you was comin 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 ducked into a bar door
It was all night pouring, pouring rain but not a drop on me
Test me, test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house, until the sun goes down, till it go 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

(solo)

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

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, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
