Cortez the Killer
performed by Neil Young

Southern man better keep your head Dont 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 Dont 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 Ive seen your black man comin round Swear by God Im gonna cut him down! I heard screamin and bullwhips cracking How long? how long?

Old man lyin' by the side of the road Where the lorries rollin' by Blue moon sinkin' from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind rippin' on the valley at dawn And the morning paper flies Dead man lyin' by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes Don't let it bring you down It's only castle's burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around Blind man runnin' through the light of the night With an answer in his hand Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand Red lights flashin' through the window in the rain Can you hear the sirence moan White cane lyin' in a gutter in the lane And you're walkin' home alone Don't let it bring you down It's only castle's burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around You will come around
