Southern Man

Southern man better cool your head

Don't forget what your good book says

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 screaming and ooh whips cracking and

How long how long, how long

Southern man

Southern man better cool your head

Don't forget what your good book says

Southern change gonna come at last

Now your crosses are burning fast

Lilly pelle your hair is golden brown

I've seen your black man comin round

Swear to God, I'm gonna cut him down

I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and

How long how long, how long

Southern man

Southern man better cool your head

Don't forget what your good book says

Southern change gonna come at last

Now your crosses are burning fast
