Run, run, run,
|
Mary, run, run, run,
|
Jimmy, run, run, run,
|
Mary, run, run, run,
|
|
Mary and Jimmy were both very young
|
But as much in love
|
As two people could be
|
And all they wanted
|
Was to share that love eternally
|
|
They went to their folks they told them
|
That someday soon they'd be wed
|
Their folks just laughed
|
And called them kids
|
So Mary said
|
|
Give us your blessing
|
Please don't make us Run away
|
Give us your blessing
|
Say you'll be there on our wedding day
|
|
They wouldn't have laughed at Mary
|
If they could have seen through the door
|
But Jimmy was waiting in the car
|
While Mary begged once more
|
|
Give us your blessing
|
Please don't make us Run away
|
Give us your blessing
|
Say you'll be there on our wedding day
|
|
Well as they drove off they were crying
|
And nobody knows for sure
|
That, that's why they didn't see the sign
|
That read detour
|
|
The next day they found them
|
Mary and Jimmy were dead
|
And as their folks
|
Knelt beside them in the rain
|
They couldn't help but hear
|
The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said
|
|
Give us your blessing
|
Please don't make us Run away
|
Give us your blessing
|
Say you'll be there on our wedding day
|
|
Run, run, run,
|
Mary, run, run, run,
|
Jimmy, run, run, run,
|
Mary, run, run, run,
|
|
|

Give Us Your Blessing
