Southern trees bear a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swingin in the Southern breezeStrange fruit hangin from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant South The bulgin eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burnin flesh 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 Here is a strange and bitter crop - Ms.Holiday We used to be terrified to end up as strange fruit. Now we are killing our own brothers and sisters without hesitation. We have to destroy that mind set before we completely wipe ourselves out.
