Strange Fruit |
Southern trees bearing strange fruits |
Blood on the leaves, blood at the roots |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
There are strange fruits hanging from the poplar trees |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south |
Them big, bulging eyes and the twisted mouth |
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh |
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh |
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck |
For the rain to gather, for the winds to suck |
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop |
Here is a strange and bitter crop |
