If I Die Young - Irish Voices

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

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be

Think it ought to be

Ain't even grey 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

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 lovin' 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

Before a day

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 maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

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

Before a day

Oh oh

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears and keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when your really gonna need

Before a day

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
