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
