The Grateful Dead — Bertha Live in Veneta Oregon August 27 1972

[Verse 1] I had a hard run Running from your window I was all night running, running I wonder if you care I had a run-in Run around and run down Run around a 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 I went down under the sea Try to see what's going down Lord, read between the lines Had a feeling I was falling, falling Lord, I turned around to see I heard a voice You was 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 anymore [Verse 3] Ran into a rainstorm Ducked back into a bar door It was all night pouring But not a drop on me Test me, test me, test me, test me Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in the jail house 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 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 Ay, we're gonna go take a short break And drink something 'cause it's real hot up here, and regain our energy Yeah, cop a couple salt tablets and try again
