{Verse 1}

Sitting in the back room, I was looking at her daddy.
He was smiling at a television show.
Mary and her momma slipped into the kitchen,
Wondering how everything would go.

{Verse 2}

Knowing I must stand up, Put the question to her daddy.
I was worried that it wouldn’t end ok.
Mary and her momma, listened from the kitchen.
Mary prayed when she heard me say:

{Chorus 1}

Please Mr Johnson, I have a question.
I’m hoping for your blessing today.
Please Mr Johnson, I’m in love with your daughter.
I want to marry her, please say
Mr Johnson that you’ll give her away.

{Verse 3}

He didn’t say nothing. He just sat there staring.
Then he slowly rose up from his chair.
He walked over to me. I was thinking he would kill me.
I was wishing I could fly out of there.

{Chorus 2}

Please Mr Johnson, I’ll be true to your daughter
I’ll give her all my love every day.
I’ll never hurt her. I won’t desert her.
Mr Johnson will you give her away?

{Bridge}

He said son, take her for your wife.
But if you hurt her, you will pay with your life.

{Chorus 3}

Please Mr Johnson. Thank you for your blessing.
Thank you for your blessing today.
I’ll love her forever, whatever the weather.
I’ll love her ‘til the end of time.

{Tag}

I’ll love her ‘til the end of time.
