Robert Petway – Bertha Lee Blues lyrics

Bertha Lee
You sho' have been good to me
Bertha Lee
You sho' have been good to me
You been good, Bertha Lee
That you's intend to be
'You sho is, baby!'

Bertha Lee
Honey, please don't you stray from home
'I'm talkin' 'bout you, Bertha Lee'
Bertha Lee
Please don't you stray from home
If you do, Bertha Lee
Something sho' is goin' on wrong
'Yes, yeah!'
'Come back Bertha Lee some night'
(guitar & bass)

'Well, alright!'

Bertha Lee
Whyn't you come back home to me?
Bertha Lee
Whyn't you come back home to me?
Can see dawn
Bertha Lee, h'oh babe, I sho' can't see!

Look-a-here now, Bertha Lee
I don't want ya even runnin' around
Oh, Bertha Lee
I want you leave or just run around
If you do Bertha Lee
Please lay my money down
Yes, yeah
'Play 'bout Bertha Lee now little while, call her'
(guitar & bass)

H'oh, Lordy!
