Four Women

(albüm: Ledisi Sings Nina - 2021)

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
My name is Aunt Sarah

My skin is yellow
My hair is long
Between two worlds I do belong
You see, my father was rich and white
He forced my mother one night
What do they call me? Mmm
My name is Saffronia
My name is Saffronia, mmm

My skin is tan
My hair is fine
My hips invite you
My mouth like wine
Whose little girl am I?
Anyone who's got money to buy
What, what do they call me?
My name is Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Thing, yeah

Ooh, my skin is brown
My manner is tough
I'll kill the first mother I see, ayy
My life has been rough
I'm awfully bitter these days
'Cause my parents were slaves, ooh
What do they call me?
My name is Peaches
Yeah, yeah
