Bertha (Live at Oakland Civic Auditorium, Oakland, CA, December 28, 1979) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
Lord, I wonder if you care
I had a run-in
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
And try to read between the lines
I had a feeling I was falling, falling
I turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
But it's running back to me
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
Lord, I wonder if you care
I had a run-in
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
And try to read between the lines
I had a feeling I was falling, falling
I turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
But it's 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]
[Verse 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked back into a bar door
It was all night pouring
Lord, but not a drop on me
Test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jailhouse
Until the sun goes down
'Til it go 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked back into a bar door
It was all night pouring
Lord, but not a drop on me
Test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jailhouse
Until the sun goes down
'Til it go 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, anymore, anymore, anymore
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
