[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 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 (swing low), sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
[Verse 2]
I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still, my soul is heavenly bound
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]
If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm comin' 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
