Bertha (Live at Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT, May 10, 1978)

[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
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 under the sea
Try to see what's going down
Read between the lines
And I was falling, falling, falling, falling
I turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
Is 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
I had to move

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked back into a bar door
It was all night pouring
Not a drop on me
Test me, test me, test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jailhouse
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

[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, anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore
