southern man better keep your head

don't forget what your good book said

southern change gonna come as last

now your crosses are burning fast

southern man



i saw cotton 

i saw black

tall white fences

little shacks

and southern man 

when will you pay them back

i heard screaming 

bull whips cracking

how long how long

how 



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



lilly belle your hair is golden brown

i've seen your black man coming round

i swear by god i'm gonna cut him down

i heard screaming 

bull whips cracking

how long how long

how



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
