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

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 great

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 a river

At dawn send me away

With the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've just enough time

And I'll wearing white

When I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring

on my little cold finger

I've never know

the loving of a man

But it sure felt nice

When he was holding me hand

There's is a bit 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

We'll I've had just enough time

So out on you're best boys

And I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thought

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 singing '

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

Oh oh the ballad of dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up you're tears

Keep them in your pocket

Save them for a time

When you really gonna Need them

Oh the sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

So out on you're best boys

and I'll wear my pearls . .
