[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
