Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me homeI looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me homeSwing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me homeIf you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Just tell my friends that I'm a comin' too
Comin' for to carry me homeSwing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me homeI'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me homeSwing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me homeI look over Jordan, and what do I see
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me homeSwing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
