    Southern trees         
Bearing strange   fruit
    Blood on the leaves         
And blood at the r  oot
 
 
    Black bodies swinging in the southern breez  e      
S  trange fruit hanging f  rom the popla  r trees                   
    Pastoral scene o  f the gallow so  uth            
    And the bulging eyes   and the twisted mouth
 
 
    The scent o  f magnolia s  weet and fre  sh
    Then the sudden smell o  f            burn  ing flesh                           
 
 
    Here is a fruit    fo  r the crows to plu  ck
    For the rain to gather
    For the wind to suck
    For the sun to rot
    For the trees                to d  rop
    Here is a stran  ge  a  nd bitter c  rop
