SEVEN IS THE NUMBER

mercy my daddy like to roll them bones
seven is the number of a man
son, don't you wander through this world alone
seven is the number of a man

high is the mountain, deep is the sea
green is the valley where she waits for me
wild, wild river, run to my hand
seven is the number of a man

how will i find her in the trackless night?
seven is the number of a man
follow the dipper to the mornin light
seven is the number of a man

high is the mountain ...

one is for all the world in a bright rainbow
two for the sky above and the earth below
three for the seeker on the desert plain
four for the flower in his hand
five is for pleasure, six for pain
seven is the number of a man

high is the mountain ...
