Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit - 이효정

Written by：Lewis Allan

Southern trees bear strange fruit

Blood on the leaves

Blood at the root

Black bodies swinging

In the southern breeze

Strange fruit hanging

From the poplar trees

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

Here is fruit for the

For the crows to pluck

For the rain together

For the wind to suck

For the sun to rot

For the trees to drop

Here is a strange

Bitter crop

Pastoral scene of

The gallant south

The bulging eyes

And the twisted mouth

Scent of magnolias

So sweet and fresh

Then the sudden

Smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit

For the crows to pluck

For the rain together

For the wind to suck

For the sun to rot

For the trees to drop

Here is a strange

Bitter crop
