[Verse 1]
Well, 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]
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

[Verse 2]
Well, if you get to heaven before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I am coming too
Coming for to carry me home

[Chorus]
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

[Spoken]
I was picking along on this old cotton row
And I felt like I just couldn't pick another bow
I looked up in the sky
And I saw a band of angels coming after me
[Chorus]
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
