| [01:08.460] |
Southern trees bear a strange fruit |
| [01:15.770] |
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root |
| [01:23.380] |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| [01:31.490] |
Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees |
| [01:46.590] |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south |
| [01:54.830] |
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth |
| [02:02.010] |
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh |
| [02:10.550] |
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh |
| [02:18.730] |
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck |
| [02:25.780] |
For the rain to gather for the wind to suck |
| [02:33.270] |
For the sun to rot for the trees to drop |
| [02:46.990] |
Here is a strange and bitter crop |
