Southern Man / Needle and the Damage Done / Cinnamon Girl
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?
The Needle And The Damage Done
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more? Ooh, ooh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done
I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun
Cinnamon Girl I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl.
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow The drummer relaxes and waits between shows For his cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl.
Pa sent me money now I'm gonna make it somehow I need another chance You see your baby loves to dance Yeah...yeah...yeah.
