Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

(album: American Folk Songbook - 2011)

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)

If I get there before you do
Coming for to carry me home
I'll cut a hole and pull you through
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low
(Swing low)
Sweet chariot (Sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)

If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm coming to
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low
(Swing low)
Sweet chariot (Sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)

Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me home (Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Coming for to carry me (Coming for to carry me)
