(L . Allan)
Southern trees bare a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin ' inn the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin ' from the poplar trees
Pastoral seen of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Cent of magnolias suite and fresh
And the sudden smell of burning flesh
Hear is the fruit
Fore the crows too pluck
Fore the reign too gather
Fore the wind too suck
Fore the son too rot
Fore the tree too drop
Hear is a strange and bitter crop
