Strange Fruit

Lyrics

Southern trees bearing strange fruits
 Blood on the leaves, blood at the roots
 Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
 There are strange fruits hanging from the poplar trees
 Pastoral scene of the gallant south
 Them big, bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
 Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
 Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
 Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
 For the rain to gather, for the winds to suck
 For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
 Here is a strange and bitter crop
