Lyrics:Lewis Allen Music:Lewis Allen | |
Southern trees bear a strange fruit | |
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root | |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze | |
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees | |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south | |
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth | |
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh | |
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh. | |
Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck | |
For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck | |
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop | |
Here is a strange and bitter crop. |

Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck | |
For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck | |
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop | |
Here is a strange and bitter crop. |
