PETE SEEGER ⑯ Twelve Gates To The City (Live in Sweden 1968)

Three gates in the East!-Hello, Peking!
Three gates in the West!-Hello, Paris!
Three gates in the North!-Hi, Stockholm!
Three gates in the South!-Hello, Nairobi

[Chorus:]
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

Three gates in the East
Three gates in the West
Three gates in the North
Three gates in the South
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

[Chorus:]

Who are those children they're dressed in red?
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah
It must be the children that Moses led
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

[Chorus:]

Oh, when I get to Heaven, gonna sing and shout
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah
Ain't nobody there gonna keep me out
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

[Chorus:]×2

Who are those children they're dressed in red?
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah
It must be the children that Moses led
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

[Chorus:]

Three gates in the East
Three gates in the West
Three gates in the North
Three gates in the South
There's twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

[Chorus:]
