Swing Low Sweet Chariot

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, what do I see,

Coming for to carry me home.

A band of angels coming after me,

Coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, what do I see,

Coming for to carry me home.

A band…
