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 a—way 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 gray but she buries her ba-by
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 a—way 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
Say’s 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
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 list’nin
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 a--way with
The words of a love song
Uh oh the ballad of the dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
Keep ‘em in your pocket
Save them for a time when
You’re really gonna need them
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
