Funny Paper Smith Seven Sisters Blues-part 1
They tell me seven sisters in New Orleans : they can
really fix a man up right
And I'm headed for New Orleans Louisiana : I'm traveling
both day and night
I hear them say : the oldest sister look like she's just
twenty‑one
And said she can look right in your eyes : and tell you
exactly what you want done
They tell me they been hung : been bled and been
crucified
But I just want enough help : to stand on the water and
rule the tide
It's bound to be seven sisters : because I've heard it by
everybody else
Of course I'd love to take their word : but I'd rather go
and see for myself
When I leave the seven sisters : I'm piling stones all
around
And go to my baby and tell her : there's another
seven‑sister man in town
Good morning seven sisters : just thought I'd come down
and see
Will you build me up where I'm torn down : and make me
strong where I'm weak
