(Chorus)
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
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
I’ve got a home on the other side
Oh well I looked over Jordan
And what did I see
You know I looked over Jordan
And what did I see
A swing down chariot
A-comin’ for me
I’ve got a home on the other side
(Repeat Chorus)
Well there were two white horses
Standing side by side
Truly this old chariot’s gonna
Let me ride
One of these mornings
Bright and early
I’m going home
To the other side
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
