Heaven, so fine   Heaven, it's quite a climb      From seven stories underground   Black mistress gonna crack that whip   When I sleep I'm never found   But my baby she don't take no lip      My Cinderella carryin' me   And my shot blood through the afterglow   Ah, slap me to my knees   Which direction baby I don't know      Oh, Heaven, it's quite a climb   It's quite a climb   Oh, Heaven, it's quite a climb   It's hard to climb, you know      I feel a sickness comin' down   A cold fever wanna snuff my kick   Early morning, not a sound   Chased through the quarter with a whippin' stick      Black dog keeps a followin' me   And my tether just won't let me go   Blackbirds chatter in the trees   What they're sayin' baby I don't know      Oh, Heaven, it's quite a climb   It's quite a climb   Oh, Heaven, it's quite a climb   It's hard to climb, you know      From seven stories underground   Black mistress gonna crack that whip   When I sleep I'm never found   But my baby she don't take no lip      From seven stories underground   Seven stories underground   From seven stories underground   Seven stories underground
