O BERTA

O Berta, well, o Lord, gal
Lord, Berta, well, Lord, gal, well

Ain’t that Berta coming down that road, well
She walk like Berta but she walks too slow, well
She walks too slow, baby, she walks too slow, well
She walk like Berta but she, she walks too slow, well

Lord, Berta, Lord, gal
Lord, Berta, Lord, gal, well

I've been calling Berta, buddy, the whole day long, well
And how can she hear me when she, she ain’t at home, well
She ain’t at home, baby, she ain’t at home, well
And how can she hear me when she, she ain’t at home, well

Lord, Berta, Lord, gal
[Spoken: Hum, hum, hum it!]
Lord, Berta, Lord, gal, well

Saturday when you marry, marry to the railroad man, well
Saturday when you marry, marry to the railroad man, well
Saturday when you marry, marry to the railroad man, well
(he'll have) on Sundays a dollar to lay in your hand, well
To lay in your hand, baby, to lay in your hand, well
(he'll have) on Sundays a dollar to lay your hand, well

Saturday when you marry, don’t marry no, no farmin man,
Saturday when you marry, don’t marry no farmin man, well
‘Cause Saturday when you marry, don’t marry no farmin men-eh
‘Cause he never did have money for to, to lay in your hand, well
To lay in your hand, baby, lay in your hand
Never did have money for to, to lay in your hand, well

Lord, Berta, Lord, gal
Lord, Berta, Lord, gal, well

(Bury 'em deep) when they, they start gettin' down, well
(Mama won't never 'low to, to roll em down, well)
To roll 'em down, baby, to roll 'em down
Mama wouldn't 'low nobody to roll’em down, well

Lord, Berta, Lord, gal
Lord, Berta, Lord, gal, well

When you're gon' leave 'em, don't you hang around, well
[or they would] catch you or hang you, when I'm (down/found), well
When I’m (down/found), baby, when I'm (down/found)
[Or they would] catch you, hang you, when I'm (down/found), well


Lord, Berta, Lord, gal
Lord, Berta, Lord, well
