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 oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, Ill shine down on my mother

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh oh

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep em in your pocket

Save them for a time when your really gonna need em oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well

Ive had just enough time

So put on your best boys and Ill w
