SOUTHERN MAN
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 black
Tall white mansions and little shacks.
Southern man when will you pay them back?
I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?
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
Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man comin' round
Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down!
I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

AMAZING GUITAR IN THIS SONG

Maybe Neil did write this about getting beaten up in a bar. A little bit of it might of been about the generations of terrible racism and racial oppression that occured in the South, that whole KKK/ slavery thing too. Idk.

I think it's great that Neil Young actually stood up and said how horrible racism is. because it is horrible. his vocals in this song is so dramatic that is sounds creepy and eary when he shouts "I saw cotton and black, tall white mansions and little shacks" and although Lynyrd Skynyrd said they like Neil Young's music a lot, I think it's very disrespectful that they mocked him and this song in "Sweet Home Alabama"
