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
Uh oh uh 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 colours, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it oughta
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
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 maybe then you'll hear the words I been
singin'
Funny when you're 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
Uh oh (uh oh)
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your
pocket
Save 'em for a time when your really gonna
need 'em 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
