Bertha

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 tree

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

Dressed myself in green

I went down to the sea

Try to see what's going down

Maybe read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling

Turned around to see

Heard a voice calling

You was comin' after me

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

Ran 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

'til it go down

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
