Lyrics

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
