Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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? (Ah) [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Southern man better keep your head Don't forget what your good book says Southern change gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast Southern man [Verse 2] Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown I've seen your black man coming 'round Swear by God, I'm gonna cut him down! I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking How long? How long? (Ah)
