Strange Fruit-Gil Evans/Sting

[00:13.50]STING - STRANGE FRUIT (Billie Holiday) [00:31.56]Southern trees bear a strange fruit, [00:39.42]Blood on the leaves and blood at the root [00:46.11]Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze [00:53.82]Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. [01:15.84]Pastoral scene of the gallant South [01:17.49]Bulging eyes and the twisted mouth [01:30.21]Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh [01:37.86]And the sudden smell of burning flesh. [04:01.26]Here is the fruit for the crows to pluck [04:08.40]For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck [04:14.73]For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop [07:07.50]Here is a strange and bitter crop.
