《Seven Curses》歌词

[00:00:00] Seven Curses (七道诅咒) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:30] Old Reilly stole a stallion

[00:00:35] They caught him and

[00:00:37] They brought him back

[00:00:40] And they laid him down

[00:00:43] On the jail house ground

[00:00:46] With an iron chain around his neck

[00:00:54] When Reilly's daughter got a message

[00:00:59] That her father was goin' to hang

[00:01:04] She rode by night and came by morning

[00:01:10] With gold and silver in her hand

[00:01:20] Then when the judge saw Reilly's daughter

[00:01:26] His old eyes deepened in his head

[00:01:30] He said Gold will never free your father

[00:01:36] Know the price my dear is you instead

[00:01:53] Well I'm as good as dead cried Reilly

[00:01:58] It's only you that he does crave

[00:02:03] And my skin will surely

[00:02:05] Crawl if he touches you at all

[00:02:09] So get on your horse and ride away

[00:02:17] Oh father you will surely die

[00:02:22] If I do not take a chance to try

[00:02:27] And pay the price and not take your advice

[00:02:32] For this reason I'll have to stay

[00:03:05] Well the gallows shadows shook the evening

[00:03:10] And in the night a hound dog bayed

[00:03:15] In the night the grounds was groanin'

[00:03:20] And in the night the price was paid

[00:03:37] The next mornin' she had awoken

[00:03:42] To find that the judge had never spoken

[00:03:48] She saw the hangin' branch a bendin'

[00:03:53] And she saw her father's body broken

[00:04:04] Seven curses on a judge so cruel

[00:04:10] One doctor cannot cure him

[00:04:15] Two healers cannot heal him

[00:04:21] And three eyes cannot see him

[00:04:26] Four ears cannot hear him

[00:04:31] Five walls cannot hide him

[00:04:36] Six beggars cannot steal him

[00:04:41] And seven deaths will never free him
