Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet, sweet, sweet chariot, chariot
Coming forth to carry me home, home, ho, home, yeah, yeah
Swing down chariot won't you let me ride
Oh swing stop and let me ride
Oh rock me lord, rock me Lord
Calm and eay I gotta a home on
Six white horses standing
Side by side
Oh swing, come and let me ride
Oh rock me Lord, rock me Lord
I gotta home on the other side
Swing low swing low
Swing low
