Forbidden fruit


Oscar Brown jr

Eve and Adam had a garden everything was great
Till one day a boy says pardon Miss my name is snake
See that apple over yonder if you'll take a bite
You and Adam both are bound to have some fun tonight
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it

The Lord had said in the beginning everything is free
Except that apple that leads to sinning so let that apple be
But Eve got tempted so she tried it and as all chicks do
Teaser her man till he decided he'd just try some too
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted

I hate to tell you all what followed the Lord was most upset
Saw them making love and hollered what have you to add
And when they made a full confession the Lord said hm I see
I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson about not minding me
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
You're all indebted now you gonna get it

The Lord made Eve Adam's madam have his kids and all
Placed some labour laws on Adam and he made the snake to fall
Ever since the days of Eden folks been sinful my
Nowadays they're even eating apples in their pie
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it
Oh go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted
You always did it now you'll gonna get it
Forbidden fruit

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Nina Simone, born Eunice Kathleen Waymon (1933-2003), was a legendary American singer-songwriter, pianist, and activist. Born in North Carolina to a deeply religious African American family, she displayed an extraordinary musical talent at an early age. After studying classical music at the Philadelphia Conservatory, Simone dedicated herself to jazz and blues, quickly becoming an iconic figure on the 1960s music scene. Her powerful and versatile voice, accompanied by her passionate piano playing, allowed her to address social and political issues with courage and sensitivity. Simone was a fervent supporter of civil rights, using her music as a tool of protest against racism and social injustice. Songs like «Mississippi Goddam» and «Four Women» became anthems of the fight for social justice. Her musical influence has been profound and lasting, inspiring generations of artists in various disciplines. Among her most important albums are *I Put a Spell on You* (1965) and *Wild Is the Wind* (1966).
