Rory Gallagher - Seventh Son Of 7th Son lyrics

rate me

He was the seventh son of a seventh son<br />

People claimed that he could cure anyone<br />

He had the power there is no doubt<br />

From his healing hands the light shone all about<br />

<br />

No magic potion or mystic words<br />

His eyes stared at you, no sound was heard<br />

People came from north and south<br />

To see this faith healing man, see what he was all about<br />

Cured the young and cured the old<br />

Soon the whole nation knew his name<br />

<br />

Seventh son of a seventh son<br />

Is it to late, now that I've come?<br />

Seventh son of a seventh son<br />

Is it to late? You know why I've come?<br />

<br />

Outside his door where queues ten deep<br />

Soon this faith healing man could get no sleep<br />

On the street they milled outside<br />

Soon this man had to spend his days inside<br />

<br />

He cured a woman who could not speak<br />

And you know the blind child? Now he can see<br />

Never asked for payment or took anything from them<br />

Faith healing man was not the same<br />

<br />

One day a man with a big cigar<br />

Drove into town in a long, long silver car<br />

He made a deal, said thin boy would go far<br />

Said he'd make this faith healing country boy into a movie star<br />

<br />

The seventh son of a seventh son<br />

He moved away from this small town<br />

To the city he soon came<br />

He looked up in lights, saw his name<br />

<br />

See all the people who knew him well<br />

As though he was still here, the stories they all tell<br />

About the time he made the lame boy walk<br />

But know you have to pay hear him talk<br />

<br />

One day he returned from the city of lights<br />

You know something had happened there, his powers had died<br />

But know he says he won't cure no more<br />

Faith healin' man you have returned<br />

<br />

Seventh son of a seventh son<br />

Is it to late? You know why I've come?<br />

Seventh son of a seventh son<br />

To be cured, well, half went up with those big city lights<br />

Seventh son of a seventh son
