| [01:08.46] |
Southern trees bear a strange fruit |
| [01:14.77] |
|
| [01:15.77] |
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root |
| [01:22.19] |
|
| [01:23.38] |
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze |
| [01:30.62] |
|
| [01:31.49] |
Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees |
| [01:36.86] |
|
| [01:46.59] |
Pastoral scene of the gallant south |
| [01:53.14] |
|
| [01:54.83] |
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth |
| [02:00.39] |
|
| [02:02.01] |
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh |
| [02:09.56] |
|
| [02:10.55] |
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh |
| [02:17.04] |
|
| [02:18.73] |
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck |
| [02:25.78] |
For the rain to gather for the wind to suck |
| [02:33.27] |
For the sun to rot for the trees to drop |
| [02:44.19] |
|
| [02:46.99] |
Here is a strange and bitter crop |
