Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ah)
(Coming for to carry me home)
(Ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ah)
(Coming for to carry me home)
[Verse 2]
Now swing low sweet chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Right now, swing low sweet chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
[Verse 3]
I looked over Jordan
What did I see?
(Coming for to carry me home)
I saw a band of angels coming after me
(Coming for to carry me home)
That's when I told them
Swing low, sweet chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, swing low chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
[Verse 4]
If you get there before I do
(Coming for to carry me home)
Tell all of my friends I'm coming on too
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, swing low chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Oh, swing low sweet chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I'm almost to the ground
[Verse 6]
Right now, swing
Swing low chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing, swing low chariot
(Coming for to carry me home)
Oh, swing, swing low chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing, swing low chariot
Coming to carry me home
[Verse 7]
Swing low, sweet chariot
(Ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ah)
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot
(Ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ah)
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot
(Ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ah)
(Coming for to carry me home)
