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