Lyrics

Southern trees bear a strange fruit,

blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

black body swinging in the Southern breeze,

strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Lyrics

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.

Lyrics

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 tree to drop

Here is a strange and bitter crop
