I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Comin' for to carry me home
I saw a whole band of angels comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me home

Chorus:

Swing low sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

Well I'm sometimes up and sometimes I'm down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul is heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home

Repeat Chorus

Well if you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
I want you to tell all my friends I'm a' comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home

Repeat Chorus

Oh swing down chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Cause I've earned me a home on the other side

Repeat Chorus

Tag:

Comin' for to carry me home

Fade:

Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride
I've got a home on the other side
Swing down chariot and let me ride
They're comin' for to carry me home
