5 5 5 5 5 <-5 -5 Southern trees bear a strange fruit, 5 5 5 5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, -5 -5 -5 -6 -6 -6 -6 <7 <7 7 Black body swinging in the southern breeze, 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 5 5 Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. <-9 9 <-9 -9 -8 -9 8 7 7 Pastoral- scene of the gallant south, -4 4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, <-9 9 <-9 -9 -8 -9 -8 <-7 7 Scent of magnolia---, sweet and fresh, -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 And the sudden smell of burning flesh. 5 5 5 5 5 5 <-5 <-5 -5 Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck, -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -6 -6 -6 <7 <7 7 For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 <-7 <-7 -7 For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop, 5 5 5 5 5 <-5 -5 7 Here is a strange and bitter crop. |
