How long? How long?
I've seen your black man comin' round
Southern change's gonna come at last
I heard screamin' and bullwhips crackin'
Southern man
Now your crosses are burning fast
Swear by God, I'm gonna cut him down
Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown
Southern man
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern man, better keep your head
I heard screamin' and bullwhips crackin'
Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man, when will you pay them back?
I saw cotton and I saw black
Southern change's gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
