he has a girl running around loose
nine or ten
just about ripe
still soft
colored men drinking whiskey and singing
daddy is worse than them all put together
pray to God they forget about you
get out before one can wake up
that is your daddy's voice
get away from me he does not listen.
you do not say her name to me
no not my name
I am Ellen
I am Ellen
Lord, I run
against the night sky I run
