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, I ll shine down on my mother 
She ll know I m safe with you 
When she stands under my colors 
Oh and life ain t always what you think it ought to be, no 
Ain t even grey, but she buries her baby 
The sharp knife of a short life, well 
I’ve had just enough time 
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 
The sharp knife of a short life, well 
I’ve had just enough time 
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom 
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger 
I ve never known the lovin  of a man 
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand 
There s a boy here in town says he ll love me fore
