| Song | Say Goodbye to the Little Girl Tree |
| Artist | Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds |
| Album | The Firstborn Is Dead |
| 作词 : Cave, Harvey | |
| O say goodbye to the little girl tree | |
| O you know that | |
| I must say goodbye | |
| To the little girl tree | |
| This wall | |
| I built around you | |
| Is made out of stone-lies | |
| O little girl the truth would be | |
| An axe in thee | |
| O father look to your daughter | |
| Brick of grief and stricken morter | |
| With this ring | |
| This silver hoop of wire | |
| I bind your maiden mainstem | |
| Just to keep you as a child | |
| O say goodbye to the little girl tree | |
| O you know that | |
| I must say goodbye | |
| To my little girl tree | |
| How fast your candy bones | |
| Reached out for me | |
| I must say goodbye to your brittle bones | |
| Crying out for me | |
| O you know that | |
| I must say goodbye | |
| O goodbye | |
| Even though you will betray me | |
| The very minute that | |
| I leave O say goodbye to the little girl tree | |
| O Lord you know that | |
| I must say goodbye | |
| To that little girl tree | |
| I rise up her girl-child lumps and slipping knots | |
| Into her laden boughs | |
| And amongst her roping limbs | |
| Like a swollen neck vein branching | |
| Into smaller lesser veins | |
| That must all just sing and say goodbye | |
| And let her blossom veils fly | |
| Her velvet gown | |
| Down down down | |
| Down down down | |
| Down down down and goodbye | |
| For you know that | |
| I must say goodbye | |
| To a rhythm softly tortured | |
| Of a motion back and forth | |
| Thats a rhythm sweetly tortured | |
| O that's the rhythm of the orchard | |
| And you know that | |
| I must say goodbye | |
| To that little girl tree | |
| O goodbye | |
| Yes goodbye | |
| For you know that | |
| I must die | |
| Down down down | |
| Down down down | |
| Down down down and goodbye | |
| For you know that | |
| I must die | |
| Yes you know that | |
| I must die | |
| O-o you know that | |
| I must die |
