Swing low, sweet chariot
Come for to carry me home
Why don't you swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Calm and easy
I've got a home on the other side
Swing down, swing down, swing down
Swing down, swing down, swing down
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Well, Ezekial went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
He just wanted to see how a chariot feel
Well, Ezekial went down and he got on board
And chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
He just wanted to lay down his heavy load
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I've got a home on the other side
