Give Us Your Blessings Lyrics

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 blessings,
Please don't make us run away.
Give us your blessings,
Say you'll be there on our wedding day.

They wouldn't have laughed at Mary,
If they could have seen through the door,
As Jimmy was waiting in the car
While she begged them just once more...

Give us your blessings,
Please don't make us run away.
Give us your blessings,
Say you'll be there on our wedding day.

Well, as they drove off, they were crying
And no one can know for sure
If that is why they didn't see
The sign that said '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 Mary had said.

Give us your blessings,
Please don't make us run away.
Give us your blessings,
Say you'll be there on our wedding day.

Run, run run,
Mary, run, run run,
Jimmy, run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run.
