Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHDDIJKDLMNNB| Well son I'll tell you | A |
| Life for me ain't been no crystal stair | B |
| It's had tacks in it | C |
| And splinters | D |
| And boards torn up | E |
| And places with no carpet on the floor | F |
| Bare | B |
| But all the time | G |
| I'se been a climbin' on | H |
| And reachin' landin's | D |
| And turnin' corners | D |
| And sometimes goin' in the dark | I |
| Where there ain't been no light | J |
| So boy don't you turn back | K |
| Don't you set down on the steps | D |
| 'Cause you finds it's kinder hard | L |
| Don't you fall now | M |
| For I'se still goin' honey | N |
| I'se still climbin' | N |
| And life for me ain't been no crystal stair | B |
