If I Die Young
[00:00.38] If I die young bury me in satin
[00:03.37] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:07.01] Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:10.52] Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:16.42] Uh oh uh oh
[00:21.16] Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
[00:25.18] She'll know I'm safe with you when
[00:27.41] She stands under my colors, oh and
[00:30.42] Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
[00:33.91] Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[00:37.66] The sharp knife of a short life,
[00:43.81] Well, I've had just enough time
[00:49.80] If I die young bury me in satin.
[00:54.55] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:58.31] Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:01.81] Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:07.06] The sharp knife of a short life,
[01:13.31] Well I've had just enough time
[01:20.31] And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:24.55] I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:28.31] I've never known the lovin' of a man
[01:31.80] But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:35.71] There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:39.45] Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:43.70] The sharp knife of a short life,
[01:50.58] Well I've had just enough time
[02:12.57] So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:17.08] What I never did is done
[02:21.32] A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:26.57] They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
[02:29.98] And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
[02:34.23] Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
[02:46.47] If I die young bury me in satin
[02:50.23] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:53.97] Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:57.47] Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:01.98] Uh oh (uh oh)
[03:03.63] The ballad of a dove
[03:07.02] Go with peace and love
[03:09.52] Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
[03:13.02] Save 'em for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[03:17.52] The sharp knife of a short life,
[03:23.66] Well I've had just enough time
[03:31.16] So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
