Chorus: If I die young bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me down the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love song Oh oh Oh oh Verse 1Lord, make me a rainbow It'll shine down on my mother To know I'm safe with me when she stands up in my colorsOh and, nothing's what you think it outta be Ain't even gray, but she buries her babyThe sharp knife of a short life??oh wellI've had just enough time?Chorus:If I die young bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of rosesSink me down the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love song Oh oh Oh oh The sharp knife of a short life??oh wellI've had just enough time?Verse 2And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdomI'm as green as the ring on your cold little finger And I'll never know the lovin' of a manBut it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand There's a boy here in town he says he'll love me forever Who thought forever could be severed byA sharp knife of a short life??oh wellI've had just enough time??So put out your best boys and I'll put on my pearls What I never did is done A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell for a dollar They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And then maybe you'll feel the words I've been singin'Funny how you're dead that people start listin'?Chorus:If I die young bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me down the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love song The ballad of a dove Go with peace and love Gather up them tears and put them in your pocket
