Lyrics
0:15Southern trees bear a strange fruit
0:26Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
0:38Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
0:50Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
1:03Pastoral scene of the gallant South
1:15The bulgin' eyes and the twisted mouth
1:26Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
1:38Then the sudden smell of burnin' flesh
2:03Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
2:13For the rain to gather for the wind to suck
2:26For the sun to rot for the tree to drop
2:38Here is a strange and bitter crop
2:51Southern trees bear a strange fruit
3:02Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
3:14Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
3:26Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
Southern trees bear a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant South The bulgin' eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burnin' flesh 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 Southern trees bear a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
