Lyrics Bertha - Live - 8/27/72 Veneta, Oregon - Grateful Dead , Jerry Garcia , Bob Weir

I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running, running, 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, falling, falling
Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling, calling, calling
You was comin after me
Back to 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, pouring rain
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 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
