Give Us Your Blessings

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 be together and share that love eternally

They went to their folks and 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...(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

'Cause Jimmy was waiting in the car

While she begged them just once more

Give us your blessing

Please don't make us run away...(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

If that is why they didn't see

The sign that read detour

The next day When 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 had said

"Give us your blessing

Please don't make us run away...(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

Jimmy run run run

Mary run run run
