Seven Curses (七道诅咒) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
Old Reilly stole a stallion[00:00:30]
They caught him and[00:00:35]
They brought him back[00:00:37]
And they laid him down[00:00:40]
On the jail house ground[00:00:43]
With an iron chain around his neck[00:00:46]
When Reilly's daughter got a message[00:00:54]
That her father was goin' to hang[00:00:59]
She rode by night and came by morning[00:01:04]
With gold and silver in her hand[00:01:10]
Then when the judge saw Reilly's daughter[00:01:20]
His old eyes deepened in his head[00:01:26]
He said Gold will never free your father[00:01:30]
Know the price my dear is you instead[00:01:36]
Well I'm as good as dead cried Reilly[00:01:53]
It's only you that he does crave[00:01:58]
And my skin will surely[00:02:03]
Crawl if he touches you at all[00:02:05]
So get on your horse and ride away[00:02:09]
Oh father you will surely die[00:02:17]
If I do not take a chance to try[00:02:22]
And pay the price and not take your advice[00:02:27]
For this reason I'll have to stay[00:02:32]
Well the gallows shadows shook the evening[00:03:05]
And in the night a hound dog bayed[00:03:10]
In the night the grounds was groanin'[00:03:15]
And in the night the price was paid[00:03:20]
The next mornin' she had awoken[00:03:37]
To find that the judge had never spoken[00:03:42]
She saw the hangin' branch a bendin'[00:03:48]
And she saw her father's body broken[00:03:53]
Seven curses on a judge so cruel[00:04:04]
One doctor cannot cure him[00:04:10]
Two healers cannot heal him[00:04:15]
And three eyes cannot see him[00:04:21]
Four ears cannot hear him[00:04:26]
Five walls cannot hide him[00:04:31]
Six beggars cannot steal him[00:04:36]
And seven deaths will never free him[00:04:41]
