Lyrics for Swing Down Sweet Chariot

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot Stop and let me ride Swing down chariot Stop and let me ride Rock me lord, rock me lord Calm and easy Well I've got a home on the other side Why don't you swing down sweet chariot Stop and let me ride Swing down chariot Stop and let me ride Rock me lord, rock me lord Calm and easy Well I've got a home on the other side (Why don't you swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing) x2 Well, well, well, well, well, well Ezekial went down in the middle of a field He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel Just wanted to see how a chariot feel Why don't you swing down sweet chariot Stop and let me ride Swing down chariot Stop and let me ride Rock me lord, rock me lord Calm and easy Well I've got a home on the other side (Why don't you swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing) x2 Well, well, well Ezekial went down and he got on board Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road Just wanted to lay down his heavy load Why don't you swing down sweet chariot Stop and let me ride Swing down chariot Stop and let me ride Rock me lord, rock me lord Calm and easy Well I've got a home on the other side (Bridge) Swing down chariot stop and let me ride Swing down chariot stop and let me ride Rock me lord, rock me lord Calm and easy I've got a home on the other siiiiiiiide.
