Not Every Soul Makes It



Save me from myself, dear God...

And from my wretched past...

I’ve paid the ultimate penance...

In this inferno of hell ever last...


I’ve learned the important lessons...

From all my evil ways...

Give my soul some peace, dear God...

In these long and final days...


To all my hapless husbands...

I was a mean and fowl mouthed bitch...

To my many clueless step children...

I was such a spiteful witch...


To my brothers and my sisters...

I was a horrible atrocious beast...

For the many years of past sins...

I’ve become the devil’s feast...


To all my foolish lovers...

I was truly a heinous whore...

If they didn’t ply me with jewels

Their manhood I would abhor...


To the handful of my friends...

That I cheated and from whom I stole...

Their reputations that I trashed...

I acted no better than a troll...


I’ve changed my hellish ways...

My satanic days are no more...

I repent for all my sins...

The torrid life I lived before...


Give my soul some peace, dear God...

In these long and final days... 

I ask You to release me...

From this hellish and fiery blaze...

A New Orleans native, she was born Ruth Grace Moulon on Jan. 19, 1934.  As a child, she and her brother raised ducks in their family’s Royal Street apartment. The ducks would follow young Ruthie everywhere, and her family began promoting her as “the Duck Girl” and charging people to take photos with her, as well as selling picture postcards of her image. Ruthie became a French Quarter fixture from the 1950s through the 1990s and was known for her moodiness, either speaking sweetly to passersby or mightily cursing them. She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
