Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot.

I looked over Jordan
An' what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home?
A band of angels
Lookin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot.

If you get there
Before I do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends,
That I'm comin', too,
Comin' for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.
