Lyrics for Sweet Chariot

Swing low Sweet chariot Coming for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Coming for to carry me home Well, I looked over Jordan, and what did I see? Comin' for to carry me home Well, a band of angels, comin' after me Coming for to carry mehome Well, if you get there before I do Comin' for to carry me home Well, you tell all my friends that I'm comin' there too Coming for to carry me home Why don't you swing down chariot stop it Let me ride Swing down chariot stop it Let me ride Eh, rock me low (rock me low) So uneasy I got a home on the other side Swing down chariot stop it Let me ride Swing down chariot stop it Let me ride Eh, rock me low (rock me low) So uneasy I got a home on the other side Two white horses riding Side by side Comin' here take me For a ride Eh, rock me low (rock me low) So uneasy I got all on the, other side
