lyrics

Banaras city of dying, bodies in the Ganges
As life gets real, it’s very hard
for the rational mind

A hundred and twenty-five begging lepers
I had about twenty coins
I started down the line
Who am I going to give to?

Banaras city of dying
they all had begging bowls
My rational mind, it started in
who's going to get the coins?

That fellow there, is missing his arms
That woman’s face is eaten away
Do you suppose, it's worth the rupee?
Can you hear how ghastly that is?

I kept going down the line
looking people in the eye
Hand out a rupee now and then
then the coins were over

Banaras city of dying
I gave up on my mind
I was just with those beings
in Banaras, very auspicious place
Banaras very auspicious place
