If I Die Young
[00:01.97] If I die young bury me in satin
[00:04.72] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:08.72] Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:12.22] Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:18.21] Uh oh uh oh
[00:23.22] Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
[00:26.98] She'll know I'm safe with you when
[00:29.47] She stands under my colours, oh and
[00:32.22] Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
[00:35.72] Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[00:39.71] The sharp knife of a short life,
[00:45.97] Well, I've had just enough time
[00:52.97] If I die young bury me in satin.
[00:56.46] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:59.97] Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:03.47] Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:08.96] The sharp knife of a short life,
[01:15.21] Well I've had just enough time
[01:22.22] And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
[01:26.47] I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:30.97] I've never known the lovin' of a man
[01:33.72] But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:37.47] There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
[01:41.47] Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:47.72] The sharp knife of a short life,
[01:52.23] Well I've had just enough time
[02:14.47] So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
[02:19.22] What I never did is done
[02:23.47] A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
[02:27.71] They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
[02:31.71] And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
[02:35.72] Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
[02:47.96] If I die young bury me in satin
[02:51.47] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:55.22] Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:58.73] Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:02.97] Uh oh (uh oh)
[03:05.96] The ballad of a dove
[03:08.47] Go with peace and love
[03:10.72] Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
[03:14.47] Save 'em for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
[03:18.72] The sharp knife of a short life,
[03:24.97] Well I've had just enough time
[03:32.71] So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
