Strange Fruit - Archie Shepp/Copyright Control |
| [00:12.24] |
Southern trees bear a strange fruit |
| [00:21.87] |
Blood at the leaves blood at the root |
| [00:30.57] |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| [00:40.30] |
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees |
| [00:49.90] |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south |
| [00:59.72] |
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth |
| [01:09.60] |
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh |
| [01:19.38] |
And then sudden smell of burning flesh |
| [01:28.82] |
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck |
| [01:38.32] |
The rain to gather the wind get no luck |
| [01:47.61] |
The sun gonna rot the trees gonna drop |
| [01:56.06] |
And here is a strange and bitter crop |
| [03:24.76] |
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck |
| [03:33.04] |
The rain to gather man they get no luck |
| [03:46.68] |
A tree gonna drop |
| [03:53.20] |
Here is a strange and bitter crop |
| [04:01.10] |
Here is a strange and bitter oh bitter crop |
