Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
[Verse 2]
I looked over Jordan, what did I see?
Coming forth to carry me home
[Verse 3]
Says a band of angels coming after me
Coming forth to carry me home
[Verse 4]
(Why don't you swing?)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
(Oh, swing)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
Oh, rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
[Verse 5]
(Why don't you swing?)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
(Oh, swing)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
Oh, rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
[Verse 6]
(Oh, well I looked)
Looked over Jordan and (Tell me what)
What did I see?
(You know a band)
Band of angels coming after me
Oh, rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
[Verse 7]
(Why don't you swing?)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
(Oh, swing)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
Oh, rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
[Verse 8]
(You know it's four)
Four white horses standin' (Standin' side)
Side-by-side
(You know the Fair-)
Fairfield Four is gonna take a ride
Oh, rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
[Verse 9]
(Why don't you swing?)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
(Oh, swing)
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride (Stop and let)
Oh, rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
