Harry Belafonte - Swing Low Lyrics

Harry Belafonte Lyrics

"Swing Low"

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

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

I 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 home

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

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

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

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

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home
