strange fruit (live at philharmonic hall, los angeles, 1945) - billie holiday lyrics

[intro]
and now i’d like to sing a tune, it was written especially for me
it’s titled “strange fruit,” i do hope you like it
[verse 1]
southern trees bear a strange fruit
blood on the leaves and blood at the root
black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
[verse 2]
pastoral scene of the gallant south
the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
then the sudden smell of burning flesh
[verse 3]
here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gathеr, for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
hеre is a strange and bitter crop
