[00:00.77] If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.49] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:08.24] Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:11.68] Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:17.65] oh oh oh oh
[00:20.68]
[00:22.56] Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
[00:26.33] She'll know I'm safe with you
[00:27.89] When she stands under my colors
[00:30.00] Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
[00:35.02] Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[00:38.62]
[00:39.02] The sharp knife of a short life, well
[00:46.18] I’ve had just enough time
[00:50.28]
[00:52.02] If I die young bury me in satin
[00:55.67] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:59.36] Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:02.95] Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:07.21]
[01:08.15] The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:15.43] I’ve had just enough time
[01:21.10]
[01:21.66] And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:25.83] I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:29.32] I've never known the lovin' of a man
[01:32.95] But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:36.58] There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:40.63] Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:44.65]
[01:45.11] The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:52.16] I've had just enough time
[02:01.27]
[02:13.52] So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:18.46] What I never did is done
[02:21.64]
[02:22.58] A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:27.19] They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
[02:30.64] And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin’
[02:34.83] Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’
[02:40.64]
[02:47.19] If I die young bury me in satin
[02:50.67] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:54.47] Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:58.02] Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:02.36] Oh oh
[03:04.51]
[03:05.16] The ballad of a dove
[03:07.82] Go with peace and love
[03:10.04] Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
[03:13.69] Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[03:17.66]
[03:18.20] The sharp knife of a short life, well
[03:25.27] I've had just enough time
[03:31.28]
[03:31.82] So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[03:40.34]
[03:41.09]
[03:48.00]
[00:00.77] If I die young bury me in satin
