Nina Simone - Four Women Lyrics

My skin is black
My arms are long
My hair is woolly
My back is strong

Strong enough to take the pain
It's been 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
My father was rich and white
He forced my mother late one night
What do they call me?

My name is Siffronia
My name is Siffronia
My skin is tan
My hair's alright, it's fine

My hips invite you
And my mouth is like wine
Whose little girl am I?
Well, yours if you have some money to buy

What do they call me?
My name is Sweet Thing
My name is Sweet Thing

My skin is brown
And my manner is tough
I'll kill the first mother I see
'Cause my life has been too rough

I'm awfully bitter these days
Because my parents were slaves
What do they call me?
My name is Peaches
