If I die young
If I die young, uh-oh, uh-oh
(Of a love song) uh-oh, uh-oh
Of a love song
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
If I die young
Lay me down-
Sink me in the-
If I die young
Lay me down-
Sink me in the-
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, oh
I've had just enough time
If I die young
Oh no
If I die young
If I die young
If I die young
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
If I die young
Lay me down-
Sink me in the-
Lay me down-
Sink me in the-
If I die young
Oh no
If I die young
If I die young
If I die young
