Part of my note about thread 8178 got trimmed?? Joe Offer's posting of "Strange Fruit" occurs well down in the thread. A number of other song lyrics posted in this thread, "Songs about Capital Punishment include "Dead Man Walking Blues," "Electric Chair Blues," parts of "Tom Dula (Dooley)," Custer songs, etc., etc.: Punishment

I couldn't find Joe Offer's "best version" unless it is the one in this thread.
