(Intro)
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way
Oh sinner let’s go down
Come on down let’s go down
Who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way
(chorus)
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
(Verse 1)
I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me.
Coming for to carry me home
-chorus
(verse 2)
If you get there before I do,
Coming for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I’m coming too,
Coming for to carry me home
-chorus
(Verse 3)
sometimes up sometimes im
down
Coming for to carry me home,
But still my soul is heavenly bound,
Coming for to carry me home
-chorus
(bridge)
Oh won’t you swing by chariot won’t you
Let me ride
Swing by chariot won’t you let me ride
Swing by chariot won’t you let me ride
I got a hope on the other side
-chorus
