Southern Man - Merry Clayton

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

Can you do can you do can you do can you do that

Can you do can you do can you do can you do that

Can you do can you do can you do can you do that

Can you do can you do can you do can you do that

Lily Belle

Your hair is golden brown

I've seen your black man

Comin' round

Comin' round

I swear by God

One day I'm gonna cut him down

I heard screamin'

Bullwhips cracking

How long how long

How long is it gonna last

Oh southern man

Can you hear me

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

Come around

This time come and pay attention now

Don't let it late
