Lyrics:
Now everybody's crying about the seventh son
In the whole round world there is only one

I'm the one, i'm the one
I'm the one, i'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

Now i can tell your future before
It comes to pass
I can do things for you
Makes your heart feel glad
I can look at the skies and predict the rain
I can tell when a woman's got another man

I can hold you close and squeeze you tight
I can make you cry for me both day and night
I can heal the sick and raise the dead
I can make you little girls talk all out of your head

Now, i can talk these words that sound so sweet
And make your loving heart even skip a beat
I can take you, baby, and hold you in my arms
And make the flesh quiver on your lovely bones
