Stephanie Mills - Sweepin' Through The City Lyrics






[Chorus:]
(Then we'll go) sweepin' through the city,
(Where my) captain has gone before
(And we're gonna) sit down by the banks of the river
I won't be back,
I won't be back,
I won't be back no more, no more.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they'll go,
(Sweepin' through the city).
Blessed are the poor in spirit for they'll go,
(Sweepin' through the city).
Blessed are they that mourn for they'll go,
(Sweepin' through the city).
Blessed are the children of Israel for they'll go,
(Sweepin' through the city).

[Chorus]

In that city

[Chorus]

    I've got about "ten versions" by Shirley including the original version she did with the Caravans in 1962 released as "I Won't Be Back." It just gets better with age, and so does she.
