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
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
comin' round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long How long
Southern man better

gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
