My Granny Sarah

Sun in the morning

Sunshine in the evening

My name is Sarah

My name is Sarah

Sun in the morning

Sunshine in the evening

In the afternoon

In the afternoon

In the afternoon

In the afternoon

I played the violin

She played the violin

I played the violin

The white people paid for lessons for my sister and me

We stayed with them

Stayed with them in the house

Big house, big house

Tell me about burning in hell fire, Granny

Granny Sarah

Tell me about burning in hell fire, Granny

Granny Sarah

Tell me about burning in hell fire, Granny

She went too close

Wen da tree ben yu cyaa straighten it

Close the fire

So I put

So I put her hand into the

Put her hand into the

Put her hand into the fire

Sun in the morning

Sunshine in the evening

In the afternoon

In the afternoon

In the afternoon

In the afternoon

Your hair is so white and so long

And your nose is straight like my Uncle Arthur's

You look like an empress

As you stir the leaves in a small saucepan

As you stir the leaves in a small saucepan

Six o'clock in the morning

My auntie rushes in to switch off the stove

My auntie rushes in to switch off the stove

My auntie rushes in to switch off the stove

As there is only gas, no flame

No fire for the tea leaves

My aunt is

My aunt is

Very angry

Tell me about burning in hell fire, Granny

Tell me about burning in hell fire, Granny

Wen da tree ben yu cyaa straighten it

You played the violin

Walk

I want to

I want to walk back to the sun

My pickny Lloyd was so sick in the hospital

His (Sarah, my name is Sarah) kidneys

My name is Sarah

My name is Sarah

Your hair in long white plaits

My aunt brushing your hair

You are often in trouble

More than me

And I am only three

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me another Bible story, Granny

Tell me about burning in hell fire

Hell, hell fire

There is a knock on the door

There is a knock on the door

You went out to empty the bins

You are not

You are not like the other adults

Spurs are playing, playing, playing

Come on you Spurs

The policeman brings you home hours later

Spurs, Spurs

You were at Tottenham Hale

The football crowds and you in your slippers

Spurs, Spurs

Granny Sarah

One day

One day my aunt heard you telling me the hell fire story

She was very angry, very angry

Belize is so far, so far away, away, away, away

The only time I saw my uncle cry

Cry, cry was when you shouted at him

At him

Granny, please tell me, tell me again

Tell me again

Tell me again

Tell me about burning in hell fire Granny,

Granny Sarah

Tell me about burning in hell fire Granny,

Granny Sarah

Tell me about burning in hell fire, hell fire, hell fire

Hell fire

Hell fire
