Southern Man

Lyrics

[Chorus] Southern man, you better keep your head Don't forget what your good book said Southern change is gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast Southern man, yeah Southern man [Verse 1] I saw cotton and I saw a man Tall white mansions and little shacks Southern man, when will you pay them back? I heard screamin', bullwhips crackin' How long? How long? How long is it gonna last? Oh, Southern man, yeah [Verse 2] Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown I've seen your flag man comin' round I swear by God, one day I'm gonna cut him down I heard screamin', bullwhips crackin' How long? How long? How long is it gonna last? Oh, Southern man Did you hear me? [Chorus] Southern man, keep your head Don't forget what your good book said Southern change about to come You gotta stop burning your crosses so fast I saw your flag man comin' round
