"Southern Man" lyrics - DAVID ALLAN COE

[Chorus:]
Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
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 ooh whips cracking and
How long how long
Hoooow long

Southern Man...

[Chorus]

Lilly pelle your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man comin round
Swear to god I'm gonna cut him down
I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and
How long how long
Hoooow long

Southern Man...

[Chorus]
