[00:00.169]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:03.889]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:07.639]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:11.790]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:17.490]oh oh oh oh
[00:21.959]Lord make me a rainbow' I'll shine down on my mother
[00:25.999]She'll know I'm safe with you
[00:27.289]When she stands under my colors
[00:29.398]Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be' no
[00:34.419]Ain't even grey' but she buries her baby
[00:37.519]The sharp knife of a short life' well
[00:44.790]I’ve had just enough time
[00:49.919]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:53.569]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:57.259]Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:00.849]Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:06.500]The sharp knife of a short life' well
[01:13.330]I’ve had just enough time
[01:19.559]And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:23.990]I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:27.219]I've never known the loving of a man
[01:30.849]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:34.479]There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:38.529]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:43.900]The sharp knife of a short life' well
[01:50.590]I've had just enough time
[02:11.419]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:16.359]What I never did is done
[02:20.479]A penny for my thoughts' oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:25.890]They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
[02:28.539]And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin’
[02:32.999]Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’
[02:45.890]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:48.569]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:52.369]Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:55.919]Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:00.259]Oh oh
[03:03.590]The ballad of a dove
[03:05.899]Go with peace and love
[03:07.939]Gather up your tears' keep 'em in your pocket
[03:11.589]Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[03:16.990]The sharp knife of a short life' well
[03:23.169]I've had just enough time
[03:29.899]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
