Four Women (Song Annotation) Annotated
My skin is black
My arms are long
My hair is woolly
My back is strong

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 Saffronia
My name is Saffronia

My hair is fine

What do they call me?
My name is Sweet Thing

My skin is brown

because my parents were slaves
What do they call me?
My
name
is
PEACHES
