No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
    G                D          
I've never known the loving of a man 
       A                         Bm4
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
         G                            D          
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
A                        Bm4
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

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

What I never did is done

               G                
A penny for my thoughts
        D          
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
  A                         Bm4
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
     G                         D          
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
