[Verse 1]
Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
"I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk, down Union Square
You never know who you're gonna find there"
[Chorus]
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy death and you
Tell you what to do
[Verse 2]
Marguerita Passion, I had to get her fixed
She wasn't well, she was getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
Didn't know, thinks she could buy it
[Chorus]
She would run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy death and you
Tell you what to do
[Verse 3]
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
When she turned blue all the angels screamed
They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene
[Chorus]
She had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy death and you
Tell you what to do
[Verse 4]
Beardless Harry, what a waste
Couldn't even get a small town taste
Rode the trolleys down to 47th
Figured he was good, he'd get himself to Heaven
[Chorus]
'Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy death and you
Tell you what to do
