If I die young Bury me in satin Lay me down, on a bed of roses Sink me in a river At dawn Send me away with the words of a love song Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh If I die young Bury me in satin Lay me down, on a bed of roses Sink me in a river At dawn Send me away with the words of a love song 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 gray, 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
