140. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

Refrain:
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home;
swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.

1 I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,
coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me,
coming for to carry me home. [Refrain]

2 If you get there before I do
coming for to carry me home
tell all my friends I'm coming there too
coming for to carry me home. [Refrain]

3 Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
coming for to carry me home
but still I know I'm heavenward bound
coming for to carry me home. [Refrain]
