If I Die Young
If I die young bury me in satin
- 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 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 loving 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've been singing
- Funny when you're dead
- How people start listening
- 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 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
