Bertha (Live at Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR, May 19, 1974)

Lyrics

[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, 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 Lord, 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, calling, calling 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 anymorе [Verse 3] Ran into a rainstorm I ducked back into a bar door It was all night pouring But not a drop on me Test mе, 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, anymore Anymore, anymore
