Southern trees bear a strange fruit
   Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
   Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
   Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
  
   Pastoral scene of the gallant south
   The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
   Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
   Then the sudden smell of burinng flesh.
  
   Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck
   For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck
   For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
   Here is a strange and bitter crop.
