Give Us Your Blessings Lyrics - Singles - The Shangri-las

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,
