Lyrics
Southern trees ♪ Bearing strange fruit ♪ Blood on the leaves ♪ And blood at the roots ♪ Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze ♪ Strange fruit hangin' From the poplar trees ♪ Pastoral scene Of the gallant south ♪ Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth ♪ Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh ♪ Then the sudden smell Of burnin' flesh ♪ Here is a fruit ♪ For the crows to pluck ♪ For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter crop Southern trees ♪ Bearing strange fruit ♪ Blood on the leaves ♪ And blood at the roots ♪ Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze ♪ Strange fruit hangin' From the poplar trees ♪ Pastoral scene Of the gallant south ♪ Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth ♪ Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh ♪ Then the sudden smell Of burnin' flesh ♪ Here is a fruit ♪ For the crows to pluck ♪ For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter crop
