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 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 lovin' of a woman, But it sure felt nice when she was holdin' my hand There's a girl here in town, says she'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
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
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
