I looked over jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
I saw a whole band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Well I'm sometimes up and sometimes I'm down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul is heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home

Well if you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
I want you to tell all my friends I'm a coming too
Coming for to carry me home

Oh swing down chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Cause I've earned me a home on the other side
Coming for to carry me home
