Four Women |
| 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 SIFFRONIA |
| My name is Siffronia |
| 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 Egypt |
