Seventh Son 

I’m the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son…
Seven times – since it begun.
Seventh Son – I’m the seventh sign…
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
 
On the seventh hour, of the seventh day…
The seventh month – my kinfolk say.
When I was born, the church bell rung…
Seven times – from where it was hung.
 
We’re a hard workin’ clan, got life’s raw deal…
The government man always at our heels.
We’re ridin’ iron horses – forged from steel…
Seven brothers – all hell on wheels!
 
I’m the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son…
Seven times – since it begun.
I’m the Seventh Son, and the seventh sign…
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
There were seven women that wanted my name…
It was the Judge’s daughter – that lit my flame.
I tried seven times, to stake my claim…
But your Honor’s answer was always the same.
 
“You’re the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son…
  Seven times – since it begun.”
“You’re the Seventh Son and the seventh sign…
  Go back to those hills – and your own kind.”
“Go back to those hills – and your own kind.”
 
A stranger came to town with lots of charm…
He had the triple six – on his arm.
He forced his will and caused my love harm...
I got seven to life – at the county farm.
 
I’m the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son…
Seven times – since it begun.
I’m the Seventh Son and the seventh sign…
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
At the same time.
 
I’m the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son…
Seven times – since it begun.
I’m the Seventh Son and the seventh sign…
A blessin’ and a curse –
 
I’m the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son…
Seven times – since it begun.
I’m the Seventh Son and the seventh sign…
A blessin’ and a curse –
A blessin’ and a curse –
A blessin’ and a curse – at the same time.
