"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" lyrics

Swing Low Sweet Chariot

Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Well, I looked over Jordan
And what do I see
Coming for to carry me home
It was a band of angels
They were coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Why don't you
Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Rock me Lord
Rock me Lord
Nice and easy
I've got home on
The other side

Now Ezekiel he went out
Into the middle of a field
He saw two angels working
On a chariot wheel
He wasn't so particular
About working on that wheel
He just wanted to see
How a chariot feels

Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Rock me Lord
Rock me Lord
Nice and easy
I've got home on
The other side

Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop and
Let me ride

Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Yes, they were coming for
To carry me
Cause I've got home
On the other side
