Southern Man Lyrics

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 saw black

 Tall white mansions and little shacks

 Southern man when will you pay them back?

 I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking

 How long? How long?

 

 Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown

 I've seen your black man comin' round

 Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down!

 I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking

 How long? How long?
