Jill Scott - Four Women lyrics

rate me

My skin is black

My arms are long

My hair is woolly

My back is strong

Strong enough to take the pain

Inflicted again and again

What do they call me

My name is Aunt Sarah

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 Saffronia

Safronia

My skin is tan, tan

My hair is alright it's fine

My hips invite you daddy

And my mouth is like wine

Whose little girl am I?

It is yours if you have some money to buy

What do they call me

My name is Sweet Thing

They call me Sweet Thing

My skin is brown

And my manner is tough

I'll kill the first mother I see

'Cause my life has to been too rough

I'm awfully bitter these days

Because my parents were slaves

What do they call me

My name is Peaches
