Strange Fruit - Emma Morton

[00:00.55]Strange Fruit - Emma Morton
[00:21.43]Southern trees bear a strange fruit
[00:30.47]Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
[00:39.51]Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
[00:48.95]Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
[00:57.80]
[00:59.65]Pastoral scene of the gallant south
[01:07.44]
[01:08.51]The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
[01:17.92]Scent of magnolia
[01:22.05]sweet and fresh
[01:26.64]
[01:27.56]Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
[01:36.01]
[01:47.87]Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
[01:55.18]
[01:56.42]For the rain to gather
[01:59.81]for the wind to suck
[02:04.91]
[02:05.95]For the sun to rot
[02:09.61]for the trees to drop
[02:14.67]
[02:15.50]Here is a strange and bitter crop
[02:23.80]
[02:26.18]Southern trees bear a strange fruit
[02:34.53]
[02:35.06]Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
[02:43.19]
[02:44.23]Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
[02:53.97]Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
