Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder Lyrics

"What A Beautiful City"

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Yeah, there's three gates in the North
And there's three gates in the South
There's three gates in the East
And there's three gates in the West
That makes twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Three gates in the East
Three gates in the West
Three gates in the North
And three gates in the South
And that makes twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Lord, have mercy

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Yeah, look for me in the North
Yeah, they look for me in the South
Well, they look for me in the East
They look for me in the West
'Cause there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
Yeah, man

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
