Just listened to this song on youtube, lyrics of which are below (according to this site):

Wir kamn vor Siebentod,
Da hätten wir weder Wein noch Brot.
Strampede mi a la mi presente al vostra signori.

Wir kamen vor Friaul,
Da hätten wir allesamt groß Maul.
Strampede mi a la mi presente al vostra signori.

Wir kamn vor Benevent,
Da hätten wir uns die Hand verbrennt.
Strampede mi a la mi presente al vostra signori.

Wir kamen vor Triest
Da hätten wir allesamt die Pest .
Strampede mi a la mi presente al vostra signori.

Wir kamen auch vor Rom,
da schossen wir den Papst vom Thron.
Strampede mi a la mi presente al vostra signori.

Based on the verse convention, I assumed that Siebentod was the German name of a place in Italy; however, I've not been able to find such a place anywhere in Italy, and am beginning to suspect it might not refer to a place name at all; in which case, can anyone point me in the right direction or explain what the word means?

Also, I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me where I could find the full version of the song with all the verses included, since most versions on youtube and amazon seem to only contain the first three.

Thanks!
