"If I Die Young"

                                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 colors, oh well
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

Uh oh (uh, oh)
     The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
                 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
