Southern Man Lyrics

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 screaming 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.

Lilly Belle your hair is golden brown.
I've seen your black man coming round. 
Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down. 
I've heard screaming and bullwhips cracking. 
How long, how long?
