Strange Fruit Lyrics – Nina Simone

Soundtrack Album: The Birth of a Nation

Strange Fruit Text

Southern trees
Bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
And blood at the roots
Black bodies
Swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin'
From the poplar trees
Pastoral scene
Of the gallant south
Them big bulging eyes
And the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia
Clean and fresh
Then the sudden smell
Of burnin' 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 leaves to drop
Here is
Strange and bitter crop

Incomparable Nina Simone, with her deep and recognizable voice, tells about horrific atrocities, calling hanging by the neck black people Strange Fruits. She voices these terrible scenes, where lots of African Americans being in slavery, were hanging just like that with tied hand and/or legs, many of them were deformed and mutilated and the same she sings: hanging ‘fruits’, burning flesh, dismembered bodies, torn families, killed personalities. White trashy savages…
