Swing low, sweet chariot

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
