About

I sung this song for my 6th grade chorus concert. It is a gospel originally sung by slaves. The song is about how much better heaven will be, and how the slaves want to die, hence, “I’ve got a home on the other side”.

Swing Down Chariot Lyrics

[Chorus]
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot?
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me, Lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot?
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me, Lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side

[Verse 1]
Well, Eziekiel went out in the middle of the field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Now ol' Zeke, he didn't care about the chariot wheel
He wanted to see how a chariot feels

[Chorus]
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot?
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me, Lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side

[Verse 2]
Well, Ezekiel looked out as he got on board
The chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Now ol' Zeke, he didn't care about the bumpin' of the road
He wanted to lay down his heavy load

[Chorus]
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot?
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me, Lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot?
Stop and let me ride
(Come on and swing) swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me, Lord
Come and easy
I've got a home on the other side
