Southern man
  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
    I saw cotton
  and I saw black
  Tall white mansions
  and little shacks.
  Southern man
  when will you
  pay them back?
  I heard screamin'
  and bullwhips cracking
  How long? How long?

    Lily Belle,
  your hair is golden brown
  I've seen your black man
  comin' round
  Swear by God
  I'm gonna cut him down!
  I heard screamin'
  and bullwhips cracking
  How long? How long?
