Lyrics by Gina Higham.
Arrangement by Aaron Carpenter.

lyrics

Preacher came down to see my last night
On the darkest moon of the darkest night
Selling repentance and cures for my sins
Said Sister the Lord will never welcome you in

Pray to the heavens to put you straight
Pray to the Lord to compensate
For all your evils and all your wrongs
Better ask forgiveness for your sinful charms

Father I said you don't know me
Or you'd know better than to preach to me
Don't go telling me what I oughta
Coz I am the seventh of seven daughters

I am the seventh, I am the seventh of
Seven daughters

Well the first of my sisters prayed to the Lord
Gave to the church all she could afford
Lived a life so pure and true
Died on her ass when she was 22

Two of my sisters well they said no
Refused to sin coz Jesus said so
Never had a man to hold them tight
Died all alone on a cold cold night

Three of my sisters they worked for free
Died saving others so that leaves me
When so many sisters have avoided sin
It was left to me to welcome it in yeah

I am the seventh, I am the seventh of
Seven daughters

I killed my first man when I was 10 years ol
Drugged him with my loving then slit his throat
Gave one a poisoned apple to seal his fate
Another I just smothered coz he showed up late

Two I killed together now that was fun
Shot them in the back when they tried to run
Came down looking for loving and my sinful charms
Never made it back into their good wives arms

Father when you come here you risk your life
I aint nobody's property aint nobody's wife
Dont go telling me what I oughta
Coz I am the seventh of seven daughters....

I am the seventh, I am the seventh of
Seven daughters

Preacher well he fell down and began to cry
Blubbin saying that he didnt wanna die
I said it was a pity coz the end was near
Revenge for all my sisters that I held so dear

Shot him in the back on that cold cold night
Rolled him in the river then I took flight
So boys you'd better do as your mama taught ya
Never touch the seventh of seven daughters

Never touch the seventh of
Seven daughters


(Killed my first man when I was ten years old)
