I must be
One of the devil’s daughters,
They look at me with scorn
I’ll never hear their horn,
Sometimes
It’s like being in chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In shame.


When people see me 
They scandalize my name,
I’m going down
To the devil’s water,
I’m gonna drown
In that troubled water
It’s coming round my soul
It’s way beyond control

- Duke Ellington
