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 e‘nough time

And I’ll be wearing white
when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold fingerI've
never known the lovin' 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 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
Oh oh

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
（Gather up your tears）, ‘keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your 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
