Lyrics Seven Sisters - La Femme Pendu

There's an oak tree at the end of Fountain Street
And if you go you might hope to meet
The witch on the highest bough
If you want luck, leave her oysters from the lake
Or some coffee and a slice of cake
Genuflect and don't ask how

When the sky is dark, and the shadows long
You can hear her song

When the storm comes and brings the flood
When the moon is full and draws the blood then the
River King in his blue crab crown
Will come to take me down
Seven sisters, what will you give her
Till the River King comes to town

Hurricane threw the piano up high
Ever since she's been high and dry
I've seen her once but it may have been a dream
She had silver hair hanging down like Spanish moss
Around her neck a St Peters cross
And the pelicans weren't what they seemed

Light a candle, whisper her name
And she'll refrain

When the storm comes and brings the flood
When the moon is full and draws the blood then the
River King in his blue crab crown
Will come to take me down
Seven sisters, what will you give her
Till the River King comes to town

When the storm comes and brings the flood
When the moon is full and draws the blood then the
River King in his blue crab crown
Will come to take me down
Seven sisters, what will you give her
Till the River King comes to town
