Seven Stories Underground

Heaven, so fine
Heaven is quite a climb
From seven stories undergroud
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 is quite a climb
It’s quite a climb
Oh, Heaven is hard to climb
It’s hard to climb, you know
I feel a sickness comin' down
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 is quite a climb
It’s quite a climb
Oh, Heaven is quite a climb
It’s hard to climb, you know
From seven stories undergroud
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 undergroud
Seven stories undergroud
Seven stories undergroud
