Bettye LaVette - Strange Fruit paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson Strange Fruit - Bettye LaVette



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
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
Bulging eyes and twisted mouth
The scent of magnolias, 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
The sun to rot
For the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
It's a bitter crop
It's a bitter crop
