[00:00.320]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.370]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:07.860]Sink me in the river at down
[00:11.430]Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:17.430]oh oh oh oh
[00:22.430]Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
[00:26.050]She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors oh and
[00:31.370]Life ain't always what you think it ought to be no
[00:34.930]Ain't even grey but she buries her baby
[00:38.680]The sharp knife of a short life well
[00:46.230]I've had just enough time
[00:51.870]If I die young bury me in satin
[00:55.550]Lay me down on a bed of roses

[01:07.930]The sharp knife of a short life well
[01:15.300]I've had just enough time
[01:21.050]And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:25.680]I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:29.930]I've never known the loving of a man
[01:32.740]But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:36.930]There's a boy here in town says he'll love my forever
[01:40.620]Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:44.550]The sharp knife of a short life well
[01:48.080]I've had just enough time
[02:06.890]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:10.340]What I never did is done
[02:14.500]A penny for my thoughts oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:19.190]There worth so much more after I'm a goner
[02:22.640]And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
[02:26.100]Funny when your dead how people start listening
[02:37.810]If I die young bury me in satin
[02:41.800]Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:45.520]Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:49.650]Send me away with the words of a love song
[02:54.140]oh oh
[02:56.020]The ballad of a dove
[02:58.790]Go with peace and love
[03:01.110]Gather up your tears keep em in your pocket
[03:04.730]Save them for a time when your really gonna need them oh
[03:08.790]The sharp knife of a short life well
[03:16.040]I've had just enough time
[03:22.600]So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
