Give Us Your Blessing
            "The Shangri-Las"
      Peak  Position;#37 in 1967

run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,
Jimmy, run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,

(Spoken)

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 blessing
Please don't make us run away...(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
'cause Jimmy was waiting in the car
While she begged them just once more

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us run away...(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
If, that is why they didn't see
the sign that read detour

(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

"Give us your blessing
please don't make us run away...(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,

(fade out)
Jimmy, run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,
