Black Oak Arkansas - Southern Man Lyrics

Black Oak Arkansas Lyrics

"Southern Man"
(originally by Neil Young)

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 blacks
Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man, when will you pay them back?
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? (Ah)

Southern man, better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

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

Southern man
Southern man
Southern man
Southern man
Southern man
Southern man
Southern man
