Twelve Gates to the City Lyrics


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
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
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city hallelujah
If you see my dear old brother

Won't you do this kind favor for me?
Won't you please tell my brother
To meet me in Galilee
Well there's 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
God almighty won't you
Whatcha talking about
Whatcha crying about
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city hallelujah

Ralph Stanley (born in 25 February 1927) is an American bluegrass musician. Stanley was born in Big Spraddle Creek, Virginia, near Stratton, Dickenson County, Virginia, USA. The son of Lucy and Lee Stanley, Ralph Edmond Stanley grew up in rural southwestern Virginia. Ralph learned to play the banjo claw-hammer style from his mother. It was her inspiration, coupled with Ralph's natural ability, which led Ralph and his older guitar-playing brother Carter to form the Stanley Brothers Band in 1946 after his service abroad during World War 2.
