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 manI 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? How?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 manLily Belle, your hair is golden brown
I’ve seen your black man comin’ round Swear by God I’m gonna cut him downI heard screamin’ and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? How?
