Runnin' by the Riverside - Live at The Royal Albert Hall, London

Good evening

I've been runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' down by the riverside

I've been runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' down by the riverside

Mama, now you know I can't run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run all the time, time, time

Run, run, run, run, run, run, runnin', runnin' by the riverside

Talkin' 'bout ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, ma say to me

Yes, my ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, what she now say to me

Now you know I've been runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' by the riverside

Tell my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby

Please don't you worry 'bout me

Mama, don't you worry, don't you worry

Don't you worry, don't you worry

Mama, don't you worry 'bout me

'Cause I've been runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' by the riverside

I've been runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' by the riverside

Now you know, I had trouble a long time

Ago, people, I learned to do it so right

I'm gon' tell you everywhere, just what to do tonight

You've got to keep on runnin', runnin'

Runnin', runnin', runnin' by the riverside

Runnin', runnin', run, run, run, run, runnin' by the riverside

Lord have mercy on my soul, I'm on my knees like it's cold

Lord have mercy on my soul, I've been runnin' like it's cold

'Cause you got me runnin', runnin'

Runnin', runnin' down by the riverside

Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' by the riverside

Thank you

Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed

An honor to play here at Albert Hall

I'm, uh, be very pleased to have any of you join in with your feelings

And with your clapping, or even singing any of

The songs that you might know yourself with me

I'm very, very, very, very, very in favor

Of people being involved in the music

And I must say that it has been difficult for me to

Understand that people don't go and see concerts that way

And this is something that I grew up with

Everybody joining in and singing together, uh

Regardless of what has happened to you during the day

It is something that is really nice to do
