Swing Down Chariot

(album: Front Porch Singin' - 2021)

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord rock me lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord rock me lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side

Well Eziekiel went out in the middle of the field
He saw an angel working on a chariot wheel
Now old Zeke he didn't care about the chariot wheel
He wanted to see how a chariot feels

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord rock me lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side

Well Ezekiel looked out as he got on board
The chariot went a bumping on down the road
Now ol' Zeke he didn't care about the bumping of the road
He wanted to lay down his heavy load

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord rock me lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord rock me lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side
