Strange Fruit |
| Southern trees bear a strange fruit |
| Blood on the leaves and blood at the root |
| Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees |
| Pastoral scene of the gallant south |
| The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth |
| Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh |
| Then the sudden smell of burning flesh |
| Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck |
| For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck |
| For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop |
| Here is a strange and bitter crop |
