I've got seven nails
I'm driving them in for you
And I'm throwing seven chains around your hips, arms, and legs
My house has seven doors
I'm securing my lair with seven locks
And I'm throwing the keys away
And not one, not two, not three or four
five times don't still my hunger1
Not even six is enough
Seven times do I weave your hair around the old apple tree
Seven times and it comes true, you have no choice
'Cause seven is my number
I have seven hounds
They're guarding the house
And seven ravens sing
Their song day in, day out.
And not one, not two, not three or four
five times don't still my hunger
Not even six is enough
Seven times do I weave your hair around the old apple tree
Seven times and it comes true, you have no choice
'Cause seven is my number
Seven loves have come
None have stayed around for long
Six times I've had to accept it
But you're number seven
Seven is the number
Seven times do I weave your hair around the old apple tree
Seven times and it comes true, you have no choice
'Cause seven times do I weave your hair around the old apple tree
Seven times and it comes true, you have no choice
'Cause seven, seven is my number
