Chorus:
Dm                C
Southern man better keep your head
A#                    G7
Don't forget what your good book said
Dm                   C
Southern change gonna come at last
A#                  G7
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern Man

Dm              A#       Gm
I saw cotton and I saw black,
Dm                     A#        Gm
tall white mansions and little shacks;
Dm                        A#         Gm
southern man when will you pay them back?
A
I heard screamin' and bull whips crackin'.
How long, how long? Ah!

Chorus:
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)
