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 they 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
'Cause 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 nobody knows for sure
That 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 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
