Sylvester, The Hot Band - Southern Man lyrics

Southern man, you better keep your head
(Keep your head)
Don't forget what your good book said
(Good book said)
Southern change has gotta come at last
(Come at last)
Now, your crosses are burnin' fast
(Burnin' fast) southern man

Oh, did you hear that?

I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall, white mansions and little shacks
Southern man
When will you pay them back? Lord
I heard screamin', bullwhips crackin'
How long? How long? How long
Is it gonna last?

Did you hear that? My lord
Ohhhhh, yeah, yeah

Ooh, Lily Belle your hair so golden brown
Have I seen your black
Man comin' 'round? Oh, lord
Swear by god that, when I see him
Gonna shoot him down!

I heard screamin', bullwhips crackin'
How long? How long?
How long? How long will it last?

Did you hear that? My lord ohhhhh, yeah

Ohh how long? How long?
How long? How long?
How long? How long will it, will it
Will it last?

Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
(Ohhh, yeah)
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
(Oh, I just wanna know)
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
(One more, one more)
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
(Oh, I just wanna know)
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?
Can you do, can you do, can you do that?

Ohhh, southern man oh, yes, oh, my lord
Southern man, changе is gonna come at last!
Ohhh, yeah
