Southern Man

[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
