"When Rue Dies Young"

If I die young, when I am a tribute,

Lay me down on a, bed of flowers

Bring me back to District, 11

Send me away with the words of the valley song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord don't make me a tribute, I prayed that at the reaping

My name starts with an R, and I'm from District 11, (oh)

My name is Rue, I'm only 12 years old ,

And I'm allies with Katniss from 12...

The long spear of a short year,

I've had just enough time

If I die young, when I am a tribute,

Lay me down on a, bed of flowers

Bring me back to District, 11

Send me away with the words of the valley song

The long spear of a short year, (well)

I've had just enough time

And I'll be holding flowers, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as sharp as the spear that took away forever,

I've never known the life without work

It was nice though when we were eating groosling,

There's a bird here right now, sings my melody,

Who would have thought my life would just be taken by-

The long spear of a short year,

I've had just enough time

Katniss- fellow tribute, beloved ally,

Please forgive me when I die

A penny for my songs, oh no, you already know them

They're gonna be safe now that I'm watching

And can you tell Katniss, "Thank you for the flowers."?

Funny how that starts another uprising,

If I die young, when I am a tribute,

Lay me down on a, bed of flowers

Bring me back to District, 11

Send me away with the words of the valley song

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The chorus from above (oh, uh)

Sing with mockingjays

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're gonna sing again, oh

The long spear of a short year,

I've had just enough time

I least I'll die not in vain, but with honor...
