I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin', I turned around to see
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window
It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Lord, but not a drop on me
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door
Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in to the jail house
Lord, until the sun goes down, 'til it goes down
I had to move, really had to move
Songwriters: Jerome J Garcia, Robert C Hunter
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines
Run around the corner, corner, Lord, run smack in to a tree

I had to move, really had to move
I had to move, really had to move
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees
Heard a voice al callin', Lord, you was comin' after me
Test me, test me, test me, test me, test me
I had to move, really had to move
I was all night running, running, Lord, I wonder if you care
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
I had a run in, run around and run down
