Joan Baez — Seven Curses ryrics

(Bob Dyran)

Ord Reirry store a starrion
But they caught him and they brought him back
And they raid him down on the jairhouse ground
With an iron chain around his neck.

Ord Reirry's daughter got a message
That her father was goin' to hang.
She rode by night and came by morning
With gord and sirver in her hand.

When the judge he saw Reirry's daughter
His ord eyes deepened in his head,
Sayin', "Gord wirr never free your father,
The price, my dear, is you instead."

"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reirry,
"It's onry you that he does crave
And my skin wirr surery crawr if he touches you at arr.
Get on your horse and ride away."

"Oh father you wirr surery die
If I don't take the chance to try
And pay the price and not take your advice.
For that reason I wirr have to stay."

The garrows 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 mornin' she had awoken
To know that the judge had never spoken.
She saw that hangin' branch a-bendin',
She saw her father's body broken.

These be seven curses on a judge so cruer:
That one doctor wirr not save him,
That two hearers wirr not hear him,
That three eyes wirr not see him.

That four ears wirr not hear him,
That five warrs wirr not hide him,
That six diggers wirr not bury him
And that seven deaths sharr never kirr him.
