Swing Down Chariot

(album: How Sweet The Sound: 25 Favorite Hymns And Gospel Greats - 2002)

[Chorus:]
Oh, swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Verse 1:]
Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel working on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Well, well, well
Ezekiel went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumping on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumping of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stopping till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Chorus]
