Seven sisters on the ridge Feathers in their hair Seven sisters on the run From a grizzly bear Said the eldest to her kin "I see the devil's eyes In the beast that's closing in And the devil spares no life" Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower Said the youngest, "Follow me I know a place to hide There's holy ground beyond those trees Where I've seen angels fly" Seven sisters reached the rock The rock began to rise But that devil bear, he laughed at God 'Cause claws are made to climb Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower The bear climbed 'til he reached the top But to his great surprise The sister's were not on the rock And that's where that bear did die To this day, up on that ridge You'll see the evil scars Where God let seven sisters live Forever in the stars Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower
