Lyrics
Swing low (Swing low)
Swing low
Sweet chariot (Coming)
Great God almighty, she's (Coming)
Over in Zion (Coming)
I'm telling you, children, she's (Coming to carry me home)
Well, well, well, well, well
Look over yonder, what I see
Seems like the chariot coming after me
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Well, well, well
Well, well
Well, Ezekiel was out in the middle of the field
He said he saw an angel with a chariot wheel
He wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
He just wanted to see how the chariot feels
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Well, Ezekiel went down and got on board
The chariot went bumping on down the road
Zeke wasn't particular 'bout the bumping of the road
He just wanted to lay down his heavy load
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
Well, I got a Father in the promised land
I won't stop until I shake His hand
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
