Lyrics.. Southern trees bear a strange fruit, blood on the leaves and blood at the roots.
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, what a strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scenes of the gallant south, the bulging eyes and the twisted mouths.
The scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Now 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.
Now here is a strange a bitter
Crop.
Billy Holiday, strange fruit.
