Song: If I die young by The Perry Band
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.
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 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 loving
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
forever who would have thought forever could
be severed by the sharp knife of a short life,
well, I've had just enough time.
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
what I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell them
for a dollar they're worth so much more
after I'm a goner and may be then you'll
hear the words I've been singing,
funny, when you're dead
how people start listening
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 words of a
love song
The ballad of a dove go with peace and love,
gather up your tears. Keep them in your
pocket, save them for a time when
you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time. So put on
your best, boys, and I will wear my pearls
