Swing low, sweet chariot, 
Comin' for to carry me home; 
Swing low, sweet chariot, 
Comin' for to carry me home. 

I looked over Jordan, 
And what did I see, 
Comin' for to carry me home, 
A band of angels comin' after me, 
Comin' for to carry me home. 

Swing low, sweet chariot, 
Comin' for to carry me home; 
Swing low, sweet chariot, 
Comin' for to carry me home. 

If you get there before I do, 
Comin' for to carry me home, 
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too, 
Comin' for to carry me home.
