Joan Baez - O What A Beautiful City lyrics

rate me

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

And it's oh, what a beautiful

Oh

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

There's three gates in the East

There's three gates in the West

There's three gates in the North

There's three gates in the South

That makes twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

And it's oh, what a beautiful

Oh

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Oh

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

If you see my dear old mother

Won't you do this favor for me

Won't you please tell my mother

To meet me in Galilee

Well, it's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh Lord, what a beautiful

Yeah

Oh Lord, what a beautiful

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

God Almighty!

What you talkin' 'bout?

Oh, Lordy

Whoo!

Oh Lord, what a beautiful

Whoa!

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh Lord, what a beauty

Whoa!

Oh Lord, what a beauty

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
