Give Us Your Blessing

Jimmy and Sue were both very young

But they were 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 Jimmy 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 Jimmy

If they could have seen through the door.

They'd have seen Sue in the car

While he begged them just 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

It that is why they didn't see

The sign that read detour.

The next day when they found them

Jimmy and Sue were dead.

And as their folks knelt beside them

They couldn't help but hear

The last words that 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.

Give us your blessing,

Please don't make us...
