Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan, what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels are coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low (swing low) , sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low (swing low) , sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I'm sometimes up, and sometimes down
And sometimes I feel alone
But I know my soul is a heavenly bound
One day Jesus gonna carry me home

Swing low (swing low) , sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low (swing low) , sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Well, if you get there before I do
Just make yourself at home
But tell all my friends I'm coming too
And tell 'em that it won't be long

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low (swing low) , sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low (swing low) , sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Coming for to carry me home
Coming for to carry me home
