Swing Low Sweet Chariot

1 4 1

I looked over Jordan and what did I see

Comin’ for to carry me home

4 1

A band of angels comin’ after me

5 1

Comin’ for to carry me home

1 4 1

Swing low (swing low) sweet chariot

Comin’ for to carry me home

4 1

Swing low (swing low) sweet chariot

5 1

Comin’ for to carry me home

Well I’m sometimes up and I’m sometimes

Comin’ for to carry me home

But still my soul feels heavenly bound

Comin’ for to carry me home

If you get there before I do

Comin’ for to carry me home

Tell all my friends that I’m comin’ too

Comin’ for to carry me home
