you must be referring to darkwingduck. no doubt she had seen lynchings and was coloring the song with her experience.

Excellent! This video was recorded at BBC in London, England late in her career. It's obvious that her vocal range had diminished by this time, but the depth of feeling and emotion that she gave to her art was at it's peak. Many people know about her abusive relationships and drug use, but few people know that her insistance to get this song recorded brought worldwide attention to the crime of lynching in America. Lady Day was a pioneer in the fight for civil rights.
