文本歌词

If I Die Young - Little Donkey
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
Uh oh Uh oh
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 sheburies her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Oh 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
Oh well I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white
When I come into your kingdom
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
Oh 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 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words
I've been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listen'n
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 ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
Keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time
When you're really gonna need them
The sharp knife of a short life oh
Well I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
