Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
I looked over jordan,
And what did i see,
Comin' for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.
If you get there before i do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends i'm comin' too,
Comin' for to carry me home.
