Running from your window
I was all night running, running, running
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in

I was told by a reliable source that this song is not about a woman named Bertha, but rather a large industrial sized fan they used to circulate the air in their rehearsal space. The fan was out of balance, and would vibrate, and "crawl" across the floor. They called it Big Bertha. Sorry to ruin it for any hardcore deadheads that assumed, as I did,that there really was a living breathing Bertha that inspired this one.Any similarities, or references to an actual woman are purely metaphorical.
