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 |
