Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Lyrics

Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son lyrics

He was the seventh son of a seventh son 

People claimed that he could cure
anyone 



He had the power there is no doubt 

From his healing
hands the light shone all about 

No magic potion or mystic words, 

His eyes stared at you, no sound was heard 



People came from
north and south 

To see this faith healing man, see what he was all about


Cured the young and cured the old 

Soon the whole nation knew his
name 



Seventh son of a seventh son 

Is it to late 

Now
that I've come? 

Seventh son of a seventh son 

Is it to late? 

You know why I've come 



Outside his door where queues ten deep,


Soon this faith healing man could get no sleep. 

On the street they
milled outside 

Soon this man had to spend his days inside 



He cured a woman who could not speak 

And you know the blind child?
Now he can see 

Never asked for payment or took anything from them 

Faith healing man was not the same 



One day a man with a big
cigar 

Drove into town in a long, long silver car. 

He made a deal,
said thin boy would go far, 

Said he'd make this faith healing country boy
into a movie star. 



The seventh son of a seventh son 

He
moved away from this small town 

To the city he soon came 

He
looked up in lights, saw his name. 



See all the people who knew
him well, 

As though he was still here, the stories they all tell 

About the time he made the lame boy walk 

But know you have to pay
hear him talk 



One day he returned from the city of  lights 

You know something had happened there, his powers had died 

But know
he says he won't cure no more 

Faith healin' man you have returned
