Knight, Gladys - This Bitter Earth Lyrics






This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
Mmmm that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Oooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today youre young
Too soon, youre old
But while a voice within me cries
Im sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all

    A good rendition of this wonderful musical almost suicide note. I prefer Etta James. version, or perhaps Jackie Wilson's, but when it is this good, it is a matter of personal taste. A great recording!

    Aretha Franklin did THE definitive version in my book.

    Very nice cover. Thanks very much.

    I love Gladys but check out Miki Howard's version as well, she brings a blue pain that is incredible for a girl her age (at the time of the recording)

  4. R.... K....

    My favourite track off the album,closely followed by "Do nothing till you hear from me".

  5. J.... B....

    Wonderful version of a classic song by that incredible singer Gladys Knight.
    Amazing sounds & so,so good.
    That sax is perfect too!
