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

Bet you think I'm stayin' home every night
Bet you think I can't wait to hold you tight
But I'm not thinking of you at all
While you're gone I'm havin' a ball
And only once I stumble and fall just when I...

See you walking by with somebody new
See you both having fun like we used to do
Ohhhh

So I try to stand pride and tall
But deep inside I feel oh so small
Cause I know I'll stumble and fall every time

I stumble, stumble and fall right down
Stumble, stumble right on the ground Like a clown
Every time you come around
Ohhhhh

Like a clown I stumble and fall

Wish I never saw you at all

So I try to stand pride and tall
But deep inside I feel oh so small
Cause I know I'll stumble and fall every time

Like a clown I stumble and fall

Wish I never saw you at all

Like a clown I stumble and fall

Wish I never saw you at all

We used to go out
walking hand in hand
You told me all the big
things you had planned
It wasn't long
till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you
You have no time
to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune
knocked up on our door
And i spend all
my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
If we could share
an evening now and then
I'm sure we'd find true
happiness again
You never hold me
like you used to do
Oh, it's funny what success
has done to you
You have no time to
love me anymore
Since fame and fortune
knocked up on our door
And i spend all my
evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
Success has made a failure of our home
I never changed
I'm still the same
I never changed
Stop what you're saying
You're killing me
And am i not your girl?
Am i not your girl?
Am i not?

You swore you were as close to me
As the moon beams when they kiss the sea
I tried to kiss your lips, you turned your lips away
And suddenly (suddenly)
Oh suddenly (suddenly)
Suddenly, suddenly we're strangers

Remember every vow you made
You said true love couldn't ever fade
What you swore yesterday
Means not a thing today
Cause suddenly (suddenly)
Oh suddenly (suddenly)
Suddenly, suddenly we're strangers

I walk alone through an endless night
While the stars shine bright, but not for me

Gonna tell you now
This loneliness that kills my heart
Will never end as long as we're apart
We lived, we laughed, we loved
Our hearts were only gay
Now suddenly (suddenly)
Oh suddenly (suddenly)
Suddenly, suddenly we're strangers
(Suddenly we're strangers)
Suddenly we're strangers
Oh two strangers
(Suddenly we're strangers)

Yes as far as I can remember she'll remain the rose of my heart
Mom took sick along in December, February brought us broken heart

The reason we've not called the family reunion, we knew that you wouldn't be there
Now we've thought it all over mama, we know that your spirit is there

No, no I can't forget the hours
You're the dearest one mom and sweeter than the flowers
No, no there's no need to bother, because without you now would only hurt father
No, no mama we'll never forget you and someday we'll meet you up there

We all gathered round, I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed down, mighty low
There was one time mama, we all had to face it
It hurt us so bad you know

No, no I can't forget the hours
You're the dearest one mom and sweeter than the flowers
No, no there's no need to bother, because without you now would only hurt father
No, no mama we'll never forget you and someday we'll meet you up there

These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone wondering if she will call
She said she would write me 'cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

That old weeping willow seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away
The tears on my pillow they're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say

I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

Well, there's nothing in the world like Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me.

Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think about those out in the cold and dark
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round

And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round

Now half the world hates the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love to go round

And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
cause theres not enough love to go round
No theres not enough love
No theres not enough love to go round
