I'm awfully bitter these days, because my parents were slaves
He forced my mother late one night
My skin is brown, my manner is tough
What do they call me? My name is aunt Sarah
My name is Saffronia, my name is Saffronia
My name is Sweet Thing
My name is aunt Sarah, aunt Sarah
My skin is yellow, my hair is long
What do they call me? My name is Sweet Thing
My skin is tan, my hair fine
Whose little girl am I? Anyone who has money to buy
And what do they call me?
I'll kill the first mother I see, my life has been rough
Strong enough to take the pain, inflicted again and again
But my father was rich and white
Between two worlds I do belong
My hips invite you, my mouth like wine
