Seven Curses (Live at Town Hall, New York, NY - April 1963) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Lyrics by:Bob Dylan[00:00:02]
Composed by:Bob Dylan[00:00:03]
Old Reilly stole a stallion[00:00:32]
But they caught him and they brought him back[00:00:39]
And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground[00:00:45]
With an iron chain around his neck[00:00:53]
Old Reilly's daughter got a message[00:01:04]
That her father was goin' to hang[00:01:12]
She rode by night and came by morning[00:01:19]
With gold and silver in her hand[00:01:25]
When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter[00:01:33]
His old eyes deepened in his head[00:01:40]
Sayin' Gold will never free your father[00:01:48]
The price my dear is you instead[00:01:55]
Oh I'm as good as dead cried Reilly[00:02:06]
It's only you that he does crave[00:02:13]
And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all[00:02:19]
Get back on your horse and ride away[00:02:24]
Oh father you will surely die[00:02:35]
If I don't take the chance to try[00:02:41]
And pay the price and not take your advice[00:02:46]
For that reason I will have to stay[00:02:50]
The gallows shadows shook the evening[00:03:01]
In the night a hound dog bayed[00:03:06]
In the night the grounds were groanin'[00:03:12]
In the night the price was paid[00:03:18]
And next mornin' she had awoken[00:03:28]
To find that the judge had never spoken[00:03:34]
She saw that hangin' branch a-bendin'[00:03:41]
She saw her father's body broken[00:03:48]
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel[00:03:57]
That one doctor can not save him[00:04:06]
That two healers can not heal him[00:04:13]
That three eyes can not see him[00:04:19]
That four ears can not hear him[00:04:26]
That five walls can not hide him[00:04:39]
That six diggers can not bury him[00:04:47]
And that seven deaths shall never kill him[00:04:53]
