[length: 03:13]
[01:09.87]Southern trees bear strange fruit
[01:17.39]Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
[01:25.09]Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
[01:33.39]Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
[01:39.58]
[01:49.02]Pastoral scene of the gallant South
[01:57.43]The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
[02:05.38]Scent of Magnolias, sweet and fresh
[02:13.65]Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
[02:21.94]Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
[02:28.80]For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
[02:37.19]For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
[02:50.92]Here is a strange and bitter cry
[03:08.98]Year of Release: 1939
