"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" lyrics

"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, low, sweet char—, sweet chariot
Oh, coming for to carry me home, oh Lord

And I know
Looked over Jordan, what did I see
They're coming for to carry me home
There was a band of angels coming after me
Oh, coming for to carry, carry me home

Swing low, sweet, sweet, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry, carry me home
Swing low, sweet, sweet char—, sweet chariot
They're coming for to carry me home, oh Lord

Said I know
If you get to Heaven long before I do
Well, it's coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'll be there, too
Coming for to carry, carry me home
Yee, hee

Swing low, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet chariot
Oh, coming for to carry me home
