Southern trees bearin' 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 a strange and bitter crop |
