Andra Day - Strange Fruit (Music from the Motion Picture "The United States vs. Billie Holiday") lyrics

Artist: Andra Day

album: The United States vs. Billie Holiday (Music from the Motion Picture)


Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
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 trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
