Ray Peterson - Give Us Your Blessing Lyrics

Ray Peterson Lyrics

"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've 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
Is 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 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 run away"
