[00:01.190]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.210]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:08.080]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:11.480]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:16.910]oh
[00:22.110]Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
[00:25.860]She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors
[00:30.960]Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
[00:34.380]Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[00:39.480]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[00:45.510]I’ve had just enough time
[00:50.870]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:54.040]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:57.650]Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:01.250]Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:07.360]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:13.380]I’ve had just enough time
[01:19.080]And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:23.780]I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:27.480]I’ve never known the lovin' of a man
[01:30.090]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:33.450]There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love my forever
[01:37.350]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:40.630]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:48.860]I’ve had just enough time
[01:54.870]So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
[01:58.650]What I never did is done
[02:09.120]A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
[02:13.070]They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
[02:16.640]And maybe then you’ll hear the words I‘ve been singin’
[02:20.290]Funny when your dead how people start listenin’
[02:29.490]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:32.780]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:36.190]Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:39.750]Send me away with the words of a love song
[02:46.290]The ballad of a dove
[02:53.210]Go with peace and love

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
oh
Lord 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 kingdom
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 my 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 maybe then you’ll hear the words I‘ve been singin’
Funny when your dead how people start listenin’
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 ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
