Four Women lyrics

My skin is black

My arms are long

My hair is wooly

My back is strong

Strong enough to take the pain

It’s been inflicted again and again

What do they call me

My name is aunt Sarah

My name is aunt Sarah

My skin is yellow

My hair is long

Between two worlds

I do belong

My father was rich and white

He forced my mother late one night

What do they call me

My name is Safronia

My name is Safronia

My skin is tan

My hair’s alright, it’s fine

My hips invite you

And my lips are like wine

Whose little girl am I?

Well yours if you have some money to buy

What do they call me

My name is Sweet Thing

My name is Sweet Thing

My skin is brown

And my manner is tough

I’ll kill the first mother I see

Cos my life has been too rough

I’m awfully bitter these days

Because my parents were slaves

What do they call me

My

Name

Is

Peaches
