Southern trees
Bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and
Blood at the root
Black bodies swing in the
Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging
From poplar trees
Pastoral scene from galant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
instead of magnolias sweet and fresh
sullen smell of burning flesh
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather and the wind to suck
For the sun to rot and the tree to drop
Here is a strange and
Bitter crop
Bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and
Blood at the root
Black bodies swing in the
Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging
From poplar trees
Pastoral scene from galant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
instead of magnolias sweet and fresh
sullen smell of burning flesh
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather and the wind to suck
For the sun to rot and the tree to drop
Here is a strange and
Bitter crop
