Seven Curses - Bob Dylan
Old reilly stole a stallion

But they caught him and they brought him back

And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
With an chain around his neck.

Old reillys daughter got a message

That her father was goin' to hang.

She rode by night and came by morning

With gold and silver in her hand.

When the judge he saw reillys daughter

His old eyes deepened in his head

Sayin' gold will never free your father

The price my dear is you instead.

Oh I'm as good as dead cried reilly

It's only you that he does crave

And my skin will surely crawl
if he touches you at all
Get on your horse and ride away

Oh father you will surely die

If I don't take the chance to try

And pay the price and not take your advice
For that reason I will have to stay

The gallows shadows shook the evening

In the night a hound dog bayed

In the night the grounds were groanin

In the night the price was paid

The next morning she had awoken

To know that the judge had never spoken.

She saw that hangin' branch abendin'

She saw her fathers body broken.

These be seven curses on a judge so cruel

That one doctor will not save him

That two healers will not heal him

That three eyes will not see him

That four ears will not hear him

That five walls will not hide him

That six diggers will not bury him

And that seven deaths shall never kill him
