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 road 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
