[Verse 1]
Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
"I sold my soul, you must be saved
Gonna take a walk down to 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
She went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
Didn't even know things she could buy it

[Chorus]
And 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
When shе turned blue, all the angеls screamed
There she 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Beardless Harry, what a waste
Couldn't even get a small-town taste
Rode the trolley down to 47th
Figured he was good to get himself to heaven

[Chorus]
'Cause he 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
