Southern trees
ย
Barren strange fruit
ย
Blood on the leaves
ย
And blood at the roots
ย
Black bodies
Swinging in the southern breeze
ย
Strange fruit hangin'
From the poplar trees
ย
Pastoral scene
Of the gallant south
ย
Them big bulging eyes
And the twisted mouth
ย
Scent of magnolia
Clean and fresh
ย
Then the sudden smell
Of burnin' flesh
Here is a fruit
For the crows to pluck
ย
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the leaves to drop
ย
Here is
Strange and bitter crop
