[00:00.87]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.52]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:07.95]Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:11.99]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:17.56]oh oh oh oh
[00:22.74]Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
[00:25.62]She'll know I'm safe with you
[00:28.07]When she stands under my colors
[00:30.61]Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
[00:34.70]Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[00:39.17]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[00:47.51]I’ve had just enough time
[00:52.45]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:56.18]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:59.03]Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:01.92]Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:08.98]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:15.90]I’ve had just enough time
[01:22.07]And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:24.89]I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:30.87]I've never known the lovin' of a man
[01:34.67]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:38.17]There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:43.92]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:47.55]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[01:53.23]I've had just enough time
[02:14.45]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:19.14]What I never did is done
[02:23.75]A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:28.57]They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
[02:32.21]And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin’
[02:36.94]Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’
[02:47.98]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:51.32]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:53.91]Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:57.56]Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:02.99]Oh oh
[03:05.81]The ballad of a dove
[03:08.35]Go with peace and love
[03:11.48]Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
[03:14.28]Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[03:18.73]The sharp knife of a short life, well
[03:25.98]I've had just enough time
[03:32.55]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
