I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all
night running, running
Lord, I wonder if you care
I had a run in
Run around and a
run down
Run around the corner, corner
Lord ran 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 any more
Dressed myself in
green
Lord I went down unto the sea
Try to see what's going down
Try to
read between the lines
I had a feeling I was
falling, falling, falling
I turned round to see
Heard a voice a-
calling
Lord you was coming 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 any more
Ran into a rain-storm
Ducked into a bar door
It's all night pouring, pouring rain
Lord but
not a drop on me
Test me,
test me, test me,
test me
Why don't you arrest me
Throw me in the
jailhouse
Lord, until the sun 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 any more
