CHORUS:

Swing Low, sweet chariot, comin’ for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot, comin’ for to carry me home.

Comin’ for to carry me home;

A band of angels coming after me,

Comin’ for to carry me home

 

If you get to heaven before I do,

Comin’ for to carry me home;

Just tell all my friends that I’m a coming too,

Comin’ for to carry me home

 

Chorus

 

I’m sometime sup and sometimes down,

Comin’ for to carry me home;

But still my soul feeds heavenly bound,

Comin’ for me to carry me home

 

Chorus

 

I’ve never been to heaven, but I’ve been told,

Comin’ for to carry home;

That the streets in heaven are paved with gold,

Comin’ for to carry me home
