Southern trees bear a strange fruit | |
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots | |
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze | |
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees | |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south | |
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth | |
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh | |
And the sudden smell of burning flesh | |
Here is the fruit | |
For the crows to pluck | |
For the rain to gather | |
For the wind to suck | |
For the sun to rot | |
For the tree to drop | |
Here is a strange and bitter crop |
