| 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 | |
| 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 enough time | |
| And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom | |
| I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger | |
| I'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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 |
