Seven Curses - Tom Russell[00:00:00]

Written by：Dylan[00:00:05]

Old reilly stole a stallion[00:00:11]

But they caught him and they brought him back[00:00:16]

And they laid him down[00:00:21]

On the jailhouse ground[00:00:24]

With an iron chain around his neck[00:00:27]

Old reilly's daughter got a message[00:00:33]

That her father was goin' to hang[00:00:39]

She rode by night and came by morning[00:00:43]

With gold and silver in her hand[00:00:49]

When the judge he saw reilly's daughter[00:00:56]

His old eyes deepened in his head[00:01:02]

Sayin' gold will never free your father[00:01:07]

The price my dear is you instead[00:01:12]

Oh I'm as good as dead cried reilly[00:01:21]

It's only you that he does crave[00:01:25]

And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all[00:01:31]

Get on your horse and ride away[00:01:36]

Oh father you will surely die[00:01:41]

If I don't take the chance to try[00:01:46]

And pay the price and not take your advice[00:01:51]

For that reason I will have to stay[00:01:57]

The gallows shadows shook the evening[00:02:29]

In the night a hound dog bayed[00:02:34]

In the night the grounds were groanin'[00:02:39]

In the night the price was paid[00:02:45]

The next mornin' she had awoken[00:02:50]

The fine that the judge had never spoken[00:02:55]

She saw that hangin' branch a bendin'[00:03:00]

She saw her father's body broken[00:03:05]

These be seven curses on a judge so cruel[00:03:13]

That one doctor will not save him[00:03:18]

That two healers will not heal him[00:03:23]

That three eyes will not see him[00:03:28]

Four ears will not hear him[00:03:35]

Five walls will not hide him[00:03:40]

That six diggers will not bury him[00:03:44]

And that seven deaths shall never kill him[00:03:49]
