Those who know me, know I don’t watch much TV, but I love movies. I saw Perfect Stranger (2007 with Bruce Willis and Halle Berry)  last week and heard this song and decided to learn it and add it to my Americana show. Chan Marshall’s (Cat Power) site (or at least one of them) is here: You can hear this song on YouTube here: If you want to know more about this beautiful and talented musician, I would suggest you read the Wickipedia entry on her. You can find that here:

“Troubled Waters” by Cat Power as Heard in the Movie, Perfect Stranger

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
I must be one
I must be one
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
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
