《Strange Fruit (Alternate Take)》歌词

[00:00:00] Strange Fruit (Alternate Take) - Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra

[00:01:13] Southern trees bear strange fruit

[00:01:21] Blood on the leaves and blood at the root

[00:01:28] Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze

[00:01:37] Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees

[00:01:52] Pastoral scene of the gallant south

[00:02:01] The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth

[00:02:09] Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh

[00:02:18] Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

[00:02:26] Here is fruit for the crows to pluck

[00:02:33] For the rain to gather for the wind to suck

[00:02:41] For the sun to rot for the trees to drop

[00:02:56] Here is a strange and bitter cry
