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.

Repeat chorus:

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

Joan Baez version


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

And I looked over yonder and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home?
So a band, a band of angels, it was a coming for me
Coming for to carry you on home

Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Comimg for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Comimg for to carry me home

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

Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Comimg for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Comimg for to carry me home

Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me, you, us on, them home
