[ 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

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
