My skin is black 

My arms are long 

My hair is wooly 

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 lips are 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 Cos 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 Egypt
