Swing Low Sweet Chariot (1924 Recording)
[Chorus]
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

[Verse 1]
Good Lord, I looked over Jordan, what did I see?
Good Lord, He's coming for to carry me home
Lord, 'twas a band of angels coming after me
Good Lord, He's coming for to carry me home

[Verse 2]
Lord, now if you get there before I do
Good Lord, He's coming for to carry me home
Lord, now you tell all my friends, good Lord, I'm coming too
Good Lord, He's 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 3]
Good Lord, the brightest day, good Lord, I ever saw
Good Lord, He's coming for to carry me home
Lord, when Jesus washed my sins away
Good Lord, Hе's coming for to carry me home

[Verse 4]
Now I'm sometimеs up, good Lord, I'm sometimes down
Lord, He's coming for to carry me home
Lord, but still my soul feels heavenly bound
Good Lord, He's 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
