[Chorus]
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
[Verse 1]
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
[Chorus]
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
[Verse 2]
If you can get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'ma coming, too
Coming for to carry me home
[Chorus]
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
[Verse 3]
Only upward Heavenly way
Coming for to carry me home
Since Jesus washed my sins away
Coming for to carry me home
[Chorus]
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Oh, swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home, home
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
[Outro]
Oh, I'm coming, coming for to carry me
(Swing low, sweet chariot)
Oh yeah, swing
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low (Swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home, home
(Coming for to carry me home)
Oh, I'm coming home
