[ Claus, Powell, and Hyman (The Horse Flies) ]

a woman of beauty

a woman of pain
in france or jakarta
her shadow's the same


Chorus:
you go home with sally ann

you go home with sally ann
you go home


a woman of kindness
with bracelets of jade
in china or japan

her choices are made

Chorus


a woman of chances
no family or friends

in argentina
she knows only men


Chorus

a woman of color

debts to be paid
in trenton or detroit
she lives by the blade
