| [00:31.20] |
Southern trees bear strange fruit |
| [00:41.76] |
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root |
| [00:50.17] |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| [00:57.15] |
Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees |
| [01:12.90] |
En en en en en en en en en |
| [01:21.57] |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south |
| [01:28.42] |
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth |
| [01:36.58] |
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh |
| [01:45.19] |
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh |
| [02:09.43] |
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck |
| [02:17.66] |
For the rain to gather for the wind to suck |
| [02:24.96] |
For the sun to rot for the trees to drop |
| [02:51.65] |
Here is a strange and bitter cry |
| [02:57.40] |
En en en en |
| [02:59.72] |
So strange so strange so strange |
