The Shangri-Las — Give Us Your Blessings

[Intro (Spoken)] (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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] "Give us your blessing Please don't make us run away Give us your blessing Say you'll be there on our wedding day" [Verse 2] They wouldn't have laughed at Mary If they could have seen through the door 'Cause Jimmy was waiting in the car While Mary begged them once more [Chorus] "Give us your blessing Please don't make us run away Give us your blessing Say you'll be there on our wedding day" [Verse 3] (Well as they drove off they were crying) (And nobody knows for sure) (That, that's why they didn't see the sign) (That road detour) [Bridge (Spoken)] 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 [Chorus] "Give us your blessing Please don't make us run away Give us your blessing Say you'll be there on our wedding day" [Outro] (Run, run, run) (Mary, run, run, run) Give us your blessings (Jimmy, run, run, run) On our wedding day (Mary, run, run, run) Give us your blessings (Jimmy, run, run, run) On our wedding day (Mary, run, run, run) Give us your blessings
