Southern Man |
| 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 |
| 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 bullwhips cracking |
| How long? |
| How long? |
| 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 |
| Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown |
| I’ve seen your black man coming 'round |
| Swear by God, I’m gonna cut him down! |
| I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking |
| How long? |
| How long? |
