Lyrics
Southern trees bear a 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 magnolia, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Nancy Ford
Billie Holiday sang in the nightclub Café Society's opening show in 1938 (NYC) and performed there for the next nine months. The club's owner, Barney Josephson, set down certain rules around the performance of Strange Fruit at the club: it would close Holiday's set; the waiters would stop serving just before it; the room would be in darkness except for a spotlight on Holiday's face; and there would be no encore.

Appropriate. This tune was, and still is, almost in a class by itself. Nearly "classical" in it's gravitas. Not just a song, but an "experience" every time one hears it. A reminder of just how powerful 3:00 of audio can truly be.
