While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.

Through the dark cloud shining;
Turn the dark cloud inside out,
Till the boys come home.”

Blood on the leaf and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin in the poplar trees.”
