[Verse 1]
C G C/G
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window
C G C/G
I was all night runnin', runnin', Lord I wonder if you care
C G C/G
I had a run in, run around and run down
C G C/G
Run around the corner, corner, Lord I run smack into a tree
[Chorus]
D Am G C D
I had to move, move, really had to move
C G D C
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Am C G/C (Repeat Intro)
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
[Verse 2]
C G C/G
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea
C G C/G
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines
C G C/G
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin, I turned around to see
C G C/G
Heard a voice callin', you were comin' after me
[Chorus]
D Am G C D
I had to move, move, really had to move
C G D C
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Am C G/C (Repeat Intro)
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
[Verse 3]
C G C/G
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door
C G C/G
It's all night pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me
C G C/G
Test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me
C G C/G
Throw me into the jail house, Lord until the sun goes down
(Chorus - Repeat a few times)

Chords are spot on. One lyrical correction in the chorus however. Instead of "I am on my hands and knees" the lyrics are "I am on my bended knee"
