Seven Stories Underground

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
