Dylan's Seven Curses (available on Bootleg Series) is about a horse thief who is sent to hang. The horse thief's daughter makes a deal with the judge to help him down. But the judge doesn't keep his side of the bargain..... hence the casting of seven curses. I think there are lyrical elements of 'Seven Curses' in Salem '76. FWIW I do quite a reasonable version of Seven Curses in my lousy singer- songwriter act.
