If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river , at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

ah oh, ah oh

Lord he make me a rainbow

I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when

she stands under my colors , oh and

Life ain't always

what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey,

but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin

lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river , at dawn

send me away

with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when

I come into your king dom

I'm as green as

the ring on my little cold finger ,

I've Never known the lovin' of a man

but it sure felt Nice when

he was holding my hand,

there's a Boy here in town

says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought

forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys

and I'll wear my pearls

what I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts,

oh no I'll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after

I'm a goner

And may be then

you'll hear the words I been sin gin'

Funny when you're dead how people start liste nin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song, ah oh

The ballad of a dove go with peace and love

Gather up your tears keep'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys

and I'll wear my pearls
