Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]My skin is black, my arms are long
[Dm]My hair is woolly
[Am]My back is strong
[Dm]Strong enough to take [E]the pain
[Am]Inflicted again and again
[Dm]What do they call me?[E]
My [Am]name is Aunt Sarah

[Verse 2]
My name is Aunt Sarah, Aunt Sarah
[Am]My skin is yellow, my hair is long
[Dm]Between two worlds
[Am]I do belong
My [Dm]father was rich and [E]white
He forced my [Am]mother late one night
What do [Dm]they call [E]me?
My [Am]name is Saffronia

[Interlude 1]
My name is Saffronia
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
My [Am]skin is tan, my hair is fine
[Dm]My hips invite you
[Am]My mouth like wine
[Dm]Whose little girl am I?[E]
Any[Am]one who has money to buy
What do [Dm]they call [E]me?
My [Am]name is Sweet Thing

[Solo 1]
My name is Sweet Thing
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]My skin is brown, my manner is tough
[Dm]I'll kill the first mother I see
My [Am]life has been rough
[Dm]I'm awfully bitter these d[E]ays
because [Am]my parents were slaves
What do they [F]call me?
[E]My name is Peaches
[Am][Dm][A]
