[Verse 1]

G                                        C
One hopeful road that my Mamma showed to me
         G
From the moment I first standed I didn't know
                                    C
Back there and then she released me free
          G
From that patched up shackle down my Pa was handed
                                               C
She said Tyrone go be the King you're meant to be
       G
Like a stone roll on your mission hurry now son
                           C
There are songs need to be sung
               G
And you're the one to which the heart it is releasin


[Chorus]

G                      C          G
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
G                      C          G
Mother said run Baby run run like the river

[Verse 2]

G                                                 C
As wheels do turn is how I go you all sure should know
             G
As flames do burn I am ignited towards the wind
                           C
With squinted eyes I look ahead
          G
Cos in the end they're all behind me long been ridin


[Chorus 2]

G                      C          G
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
G                      C          G
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
G                      C          G
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
G                      C          G
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
