Merry Clayton - Southern Man lyrics

Southern man, you 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 I saw cotton And I saw a man Tall white mansions And little shacks Southern man When will you Pay them back? I heard screamin' Bullwhips cracking How long? How long? How long is it gonna last? Southern man Lily Belle Your hair is golden brown I've seen your black man Comin' round I swear by God I'm gonna cut him down! I heard screamin' Bullwhips cracking How long? How long? How long is it gonna last? Oh southern man Southern man Better keep your head Don't forget What your good book said Southern change About to come You gotta stop burning Your crosses so fast Southern man
