Lyric Southern Man
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?
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?
