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