"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...
