Southern Man Lyrics - David Allan Coe

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, how long 

Southern man 

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 

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, how long 

Southern man 

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
