Bertha (Live at Wembley Empire Pool, London, April 8, 1972)

[Intro]
If any of you got any plans and couldn't come tonight 'cause it was sold out, on May the 16th on Radio Luxemborg, we're gonna do a, a concert for about three hours, so I think you—I know you can receive Radio Luxembourg here, so it's on May the 16th we're gonna play there. Send us some energy, we'll need it. Friends, The Grateful Dead

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

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

[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

[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
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

Our apologies, folks, we've gotta change a broken string. Well, welcome to London, and uh. (Welcome to Wonderland and uh, yeah. I can't find it. It's not even there.) I can't think of a thing to say. (You gotta have a deeper voice) Hey, do you think I have a deep voice, kinda husky? Kind of a deep voice, kinda husky? (Husky? Why, yes)
