[Intro: Ray Walker]
I looked over Jordan
And what did I see?
Comin' for to carry me home
It was a band of God's angels
Comin' after me
They was a-comin'
Just for to carry me home
[Chorus: Gordon Stoker]
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Comin' for to carry me home
[Verse 1: Ray Walker]
I'm sometimes up (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
I'm sometimes down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul (Oh Lord)
Is heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home
[Chorus: Ray Walker]
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, swing low)
Comin' for to carry me home (Carry me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low)
Comin' for to carry me home
[Verse 2: Gordon Stoker]
Comin' for to carry me home
If you get there
Before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all of my friends
That I'm a-comin' home too
Comin' for to carry me home
[Chorus: Gordon Stoker]
Swing low, sweet chariot (Sweet chariot)
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot (Swing low, sweet chariot)
Comin' for to carry me home
[Outro: The Jordanaires]
Comin'
For to carry me
Home (Swing low)
