(Billie Holiday)
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.
Oh Oh:
Pastoral scene of the gallant
South
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
And
the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the
rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Oh, here
is a strange and bitter --- crop.
Oh, --- here is a strange and bitter crop.
