Bertha (Live At the Carefree Theatre, 1992) Lyrics

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 treeI 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
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the linesHad a feeling I was falling
Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling

You was comin after meI 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 anymoreRan into a rainstorm
Ducked into a bar door
It was all night pouring
But not a drop on 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 downI 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
