The Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Lyrics - Blueprint - Rory Gallagher

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 

Seventh son of a seventh son 

Is it to late? You know why I've come? 

Seventh son of a seventh son 

To be cured, well, half went up with those big city lights 

Seventh son of a seventh son
