  R1:
  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

  S1:
  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 colours 

  Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no 

  Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

  S2:
  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

  So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls 

  What I never did is done

  S4:
  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'
