Southern Man

Southern man    better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man
I saw cotton and I see black
Tall white mansions and little shacks

Southern man will you pay them back?
I hear screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long?   How long?
Southern man   better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said

Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man
Lily Belle your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man coming round

Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down
I hear screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long?    How long?
