Sefronia
(The Dream Belongs To Me)

Sefronia shook the black cat bone at me
And I was only wax in the spell of fire
Oh my coal black nigger
When black coal burns
It ripens into a rose
She pried the whip out of her master's hand
And lashed at her own skin
So she'd be master
How could she know
This was just a dream
Born of a new knot in the bullwhip
