[00:08.84] Southern trees bear a strange fruit
[00:32.64] Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
[00:42.41] Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
[00:52.18] Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
[01:07.96] Pastoral scene of the gallant South
[01:26.51] The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
[01:37.28] Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
[01:48.55] Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
[02:02.58] Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
[02:12.59] For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
[02:24.12] For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
[02:42.15] Here is a strange and bitter crop
