Four Women

Her skin is black, her arms are long

Her hair is woolly, her back is strong

Strong enough to take the pain

Inflicted again and again

What do they call her?

Her name is Aunt Sarah

Her name is Aunt Sarah, Aunt Sarah

Her skin is yellow, her hair is long

Between two worlds she does belong

Her father, he was rich and white

He forced her mother late one night

What do they call her?

Her name is Safonia

Her name is Safonia, Safonia

Her skin is tan, her hair is fine

Her hips invite you, her mouth like wine

Whose little girl is she?

Anyone's who pays the fees

What do they call her?

Her name is Sweet Thing

Her name, it is Sweet Thing, Sweet Thing

Her skin is brown, her manner is tough

She'll kill the first mother she sees

Her life has been rough

She's awfully bitter these days

Because her parents were slaves

What do they call her?

Her name is Peaches
