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

 

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,

 

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 holdin' 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'em 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

 

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 you're 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
