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 oh oh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, Iâll shine down on my mother
She'll know Iâm 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
Iâve 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
Iâve had just enough time
And Iâll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
Iâm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
Iâve never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
Thereâs a boy here in town says heâll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
Iâve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and Iâll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no Iâll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after Iâm a goner
And maybe then youâll hear the words I been singinâ
Funny when you're dead how people start listeninâ
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
Gather up your tears, keep âem in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
Iâve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and Iâll wear my pearls
