STRANGE
Intro
19 seconds
Southern trees

hear strange fruit
And blood

at the root
Black bodies swinging

in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging

from the poplar trees
Instrumental

(26
k),
Pastoral scene

of the gallant south
The bulging eyes

and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia

sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell

of burning flesh
Here's 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 .....
