NICK GILDER ☆ Hot Child in the City

Two videos of The Caravans with Shirley Caesar performing “Sweeping Through the City”.  Not sure of the dates of these performances, but there must be several decades between them. _______________________________

Sweeping Through the City

[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 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).

(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.

In that city

(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.
