Southern Man

[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, southern man, southern man

Southern man, better keep your head

Don't forget what your good book said

[Verse 1]

I saw cotton and I saw trash

Tall white mansions and little shacks

Southern man, when will you pay them back?

I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking

How long? How?

[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, southern man, southern man

[Verse 2]

Hangin' tresses of curly brown

I swear the nation is coming 'round

There's a change comin' in this town

I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking

How long? How?

[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, southern man, southern man
