about
I imagine this song being sung by Vollman or Bevins to Litzy Wright's ghost.
lyrics
Won’t Live It Down
(A Song for Litzie and All Her Kin)
(©2019 Anders/O’Bitz)
She steps up
Litzie Wright
What shut her up
Up so tight
What could be done
Cause such a fright
What was done
So many times
Had been done
So many times
All her life
And down her family line
I can’t miss the signs
How this violence
It defines
To the bone
Home of mine
Won’t live it down
Her beauty stuns
Litzie Wright
Her mothers' mothers
Feared the night
Of violence born
All down the line
I can’t miss the signs
How this violence
It defines
To the bone
Home of mine
Won’t live it down
Break
I can’t miss the signs
How this violence
It defines
Our broken home
Ah
We are born
Defiled
She is more
American
Than any white
Ah
You’re our home
Litzie Wright
To the bone
Won’t live it down
