Southern trees bear 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

The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth

Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh

Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck

For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck

For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop

Here is a strange and bitter crop

I don't own this

Terrible version, worst i've heard what is with the stupid rock guitar anyway. The only thing that could be worse after this if I heard a version by Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion.

Wonderful performance from Katey Sagal. So much better than the one from Billie Holiday ... Even if I really love what Billie Holiday did in the past

I said the same thing about Beth Hart, and I will say it here to despite how much I respect Katey Sagal's acting chops:"Something just feels off about this performance. She has a beautiful and dynamic voice, but this song was not really meant to be sung by white people. It doesn't carry the same weight as when it was sung by Billie Holiday or Nina Simone or Diana Ross, and therefore cannot hope to evoke the same emotions that were present when originally crafted. This is not a song meant to be loved or be beautiful. This song is supposed to crush you and depress you, and she just does not have the background to pull it off."P.S.- Yes, a white Jewish man from New York wrote the poem that Billie Holiday sung, but she OWNED those words. He wrote those words about black people being lynched. The three women I listed had a direct understanding of that pain of loss and invoked it within the song. I hear none of that in this version, which is sad without any of the raw pain attached.

In fact, we didn't have anything that show has. It's all fiction.

Too bad we didn't have women like her when I was a outlaw biker.
