I saw cotton and I saw black,
DmBbGm
tall white mansions and little shacks;
DmBbGm
southern man when will you pay them back?

I heard screaminʼ and bull whips crackinʼ.

DmBbGm x2
Southern man, better keep your head,
donʼt forget what your Good Book says.
Southern change gonna come at last,
now your crosses are burninʼ fast, southern man.

I heard screaminʼ and bull whips crackinʼ.
How long, how long? Ah!
DmBbGm x2
