If I Die Young Lyrics
[00:00.41] If I die young, bury me in satin
[00:04.49] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:07.95] Sink me in the river at dawn
[00:11.52] Send me away with the words of a love song
[00:17.22] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[00:19.76]
[00:22.34] Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
[00:26.38] She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
[00:29.94] Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
[00:34.79] Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
[00:38.75] The sharp knife of a short life
[00:45.14] Well, I've had just enough time
[00:51.79] If I die young, bury me in satin
[00:55.59] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[00:59.25] Sink me in the river at dawn
[01:02.84] Send me away with the words of a love song
[01:08.01] The sharp knife of a short life
[01:14.53] Well, I've had just enough time
[01:21.36] And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
[01:25.65] I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
[01:29.35] I've never known the lovin' of a man
[01:33.00] But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
[01:36.56] There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
[01:40.50] Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[01:44.59] The sharp knife of a short life
[01:51.06] Well, I've had just enough time
[02:01.65]
[02:13.48] So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
[02:18.27] What I never did is done
[02:22.32] A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
[02:27.02] They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
[02:30.67] And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
[02:34.76] Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
[02:41.93]
[02:47.14] If I die young, bury me in satin
[02:50.56] Lay me down on a bed of roses
[02:54.21] Sink me in the river at dawn
[02:57.96] Send me away with the words of a love song
[03:02.28] Oh-oh (oh-oh)
[03:04.16] The ballad of a dove
[03:07.35] Go with peace and love
[03:10.03] Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
[03:13.54] Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em oh
[03:17.70] The sharp knife of a short life
[03:24.18] Well, I've had just enough time
[03:31.44] So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
[03:38.50]
[00:04.49] Lay me down on a bed of roses
