The Grateful Dead
Bertha (Live at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, February 18, 1971)
[Intro]
Are we ready?

[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
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
See what's going down
Try to read between the lines
I had a sinking feeling I was falling
I looked around to see
Heard a sweet voice calling
You was coming 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 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked back into a bar door
It was all night pouring
Not a drop on me
Test me, test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me into the jailhouse
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
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

[Instrumental Break]

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

Well, this isn't driving a train but it's almost as good
