Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
When I went to the doctor,
The docter he said,
Comin' for to carry me home
He got a big old rock
He rolls around in your head
Comin' for to carry me home
Well, went to the hospital
Under the night
Comin' for the carry me home
Well, the nurse cried out,
We done lost this young boy's life
Comin' for to carry me home
Mama, sing
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
When I got up to Heaven
I mean the, the pearly gate
Comin' for to carry me home
Well, Saint Peter up above me
Said son ya gotta learn how to wait
Comin' for to carry me home
When I woke up the next mornin'
Hear the sweet little sound
Comin' for to carry me home
Well, I woke up the next mornin'
I was six feet underground
Comin' for to carry me home
And I could hear the preacher
Singin' in his futile tone
Comin' for to carry me home
And I screamed out to the Lord,
Don't let me die here all alone
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Yeah...
Now it's comin' for to carry me home
Yes, it was
Comin' for to carry me home
Yes...
Comin' for to carry me home
