Lyrics
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stay and let me ride
Swing down chariot Lord and let me ride
Oh, rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Come on easy I get a home on the other side
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stay and let me ride
Swing down chariot Lord and let me ride
Oh, rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Come on easy I get a home on the other side
Swing, swing, swing
Looked into Jordan and what did I see
Band of angels chariot Lord coming after me
Three white horses riding side by side
Swing down sweet chariot Lord
And let this child ride
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stay and let me ride
Swing down chariot Lord and let me ride
Oh, rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Come on easy I get a home on the other side
Met my Mother this morning Lord
Coming up like (?)
Trying to get to heaven in good time
Wake me, shake me don't let me sleep too late
Wake up early in the morning
Swing on the pearly gate
Wake up early in the morning
Swing on the pearly gate
Wake me, shake me don't let me sleep too late
Trying to get to heaven in good time
I'm bound for higher ground
I'm saying the holy crown
Can't remain as this earthly please
I'm bound for higher ground
I'm bound for higher ground
I'm saying the holy crown
Can't remain as this earthly please
I'm bound for higher ground
