Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming far to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming far to carry me home
Well, I looked over Jordan
and what did I see?
Comin' for to carry me home
Well, a band of raiders
comin' after me
Com in' for to carry me home
Well, if you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Well, you tell my friends I'm
comin' there too
Com in' far to carry me home
Why don't you swing down, Charlie,
stop it, let me ride
Swing down, Charlie, stop it, let me ride
Hey, don't be long
So when he's here,
I've got a home on the other side
Swing down, child,
stop and let me ride
Swing down, child, stop and let me ride
Hey, rockin' on
Oh, well, I've got a home
on the other side
Two white horses riding side by side
Come in here and take me for a ride
Hey, rock me now, rock me now,
slow and easy
I've got a home on the other side
