the gathering – strange fruit lyrics
Loading...
[verse 1]
southern trees bear a strange fruit
blood on the leaves and blood at the root
black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
there’s a strange fruit hanging in the poplar trees
[verse 2]
pastoral scene of a gallant south
the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
and the sudden smell of burning flesh
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
here is 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
a strange and bitter
crop
