Swing Down Sweet Chariot

Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home!
Swing low
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home!

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've got a home on the other side (why don't you)

(swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, ...)
Well
Well

Ezekial went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how the chariot would feel

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've got a home on the other side (why don't you)

(swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, ...)
Well
Well

Ezekial went down and he got on board
Chariot started a bumpin' on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' 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've got a home on the other side

(swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride)
Well I've got a heavenly father who's promised the land
(swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride)
Ain't gonna stop until He shakin' your hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I've got a home on the other side

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've 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've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down, swing down, swing down, swing down

(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've 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've 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've got a home on the other side
