Southern Man

South-ern man, bet-ter keep your head,

dont for-get what your good book says.

South-ern change gon-na come at last,

now your cross-es are burn-in fast,

south-ern man.

I saw cot-ton and I saw black,

tall white man-sions and lit-tle shacks.

South-ern man when will you pay them back?

I heard scream-in and bull whips crack-in,

how long, how long? H-o-w long, South-ern man.

Lil-lie Bell your hair is gold-en brown,

Ive seen your black man com-in round

swear by God, Im gon-na cut him down!

I heard scream-in and bull whips crack-in,

how long, how long? H-o-w long? South-ern man.
