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

Swing low

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still I know I'm heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low

If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'm a-comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home

Now if I get there before you do
Comin' for to carry me home
I'll cut a hole and I'll pull you through
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low
