Lyrics

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home (swing low)
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
I looked into my soul, and what did I see?
Coming forth to carry me home
And I must be rising, rising in me
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
I'm on my way now and so are you
Coming forth to carry me home
Tell all my people, they are coming, too
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Carry me home
Carry me home
Pick me home
Carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home, yeah!
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming forth to carry me home (take me home)
Swing low, sweet chariot
