Bertha (Live at Fox Theatre, St. Louis, MO, December 10, 1971)

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 hard run Run around and a-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 back under the trees 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 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 [Verse 4] Ran into a rainstorm I ducked back into a bar door It was all night pouring Not a drop on mе Test me, test mе Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in the jail house, jail house Lord, 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 [Instrumental] [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 Well, we just went into our first equipment malfunction, you all will be pleased to know
