Bertha (Live in Hartford, CT, May 28, 1977)

[Verse 1]
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner
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 under the sea
Try to see what's going down
Try to read between the lines
Had a feeling I was falling
I turned around to see
Heard a voice a-calling
You was running back to 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

[Instrumental break]

[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 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
Ducked back into a bar door
It was all night pouring
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

[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

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, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore
