Chorus:
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan and what did I see<br />
Coming for to carry me home<br />
A band of angels coming after me<br />
Coming for to carry me home<br /><br />(Chorus)
If you get there before I do<br />
Coming for to carry me home<br />
Tell all my friends I'm coming too<br />
Coming for to carry me home<br /><br />(Chorus)
Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down<br />
Coming for to carry me home<br />
But still my soul feels heavenly bound<br />
Coming for to carry me home<br /><br />(Chorus)
