Los Lobos - Bertha Lyrics

I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
Lord, I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and 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
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Lord, try to read between the lines
Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling
Lord, I turned around to see
Heard a voice 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 anymore
Anymore

Ran into a rainstorm
Ducked back into a bar door
It was 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 into the jail house
Lord, until the sun 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
Anymore, anymore, anymore
