Bertha
  ------
    I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.
  I was all night runnin', runnin'; Lord, I wondered if you cared.
  I had a run in, run around, and a run down.
  Run around the corner, Lord, I 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, Lord, been down under the sea.
  Try to see what's goin' down, Lord, try to read between the
  lines.
  I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin', Lord, I turned
  around to see,
  Heard her voice a'callin', Lord, it's a runnin' back to 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, I ducked back into Novato.
  It's all night fallin', pourin' rain,
  Lord, but not a drop on me.
  Test me, test me,
  Test me, test me, test me,
  Why don't you arrest me?
  Throw me into the jail house,
  Lord, until the sun goes down, 'til it goes 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.
    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.
