Swing low, sweet chariot
(Composer African-American Spiritual)
E A E H7
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home;
E A E H7 E
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.
E A E H7I looked over Jordan and what did I see, coming for to carry me home?
E A E H7 E
A band of angels coming after me, coming for to carry me home.
If you get there before I do, coming for to carry me home;
Tell all my friends I coming, too, coming for to carry me home.
I'm sometime up and sometimes down, coming for to carry me home;
But still my soul feels heavenly bound, coming for to carry me home.
The brightest day that I can say, coming for to carry me home;
When Jesus washed my sins away, coming for to carry me home.
