Everybody talkin’ ’bout the seventh son
In the whole wide world there is only one

A E
I’m the one, I’m the one
B
I’m the one, I’m the one
A E
The one they call the seventh son

I can tell your future, it will come to pass
I can do things to you make your heart feel glad
Look in the sky, predict the rain
Tell when a woman’s got another man

I can talk these words that will sound so sweet
They will even make your little heart skip a beat
Heal the sick, raise the dead
Make the little girls talk out of their heads
