1
Southern trees bearing a strange fruit
2
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
3
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
4
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
5
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
6
Bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
7
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
8
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
9
Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck
10
For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck
11
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
12
Here is a strange and bitter crop, it's dead
13
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
14
Bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
15
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
16
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
17
Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck
18
For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck
19
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
20
Here is a strange and bitter crop, it's dead
