Judy Garland
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot - Minstrel 1938
[Chorus]: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
[Verse 1]: Oh, I come from South
From way down South
Where the corn and ‘taters used to grow
Dey’s a great, big, and elegant picture show!
And my old Kentucky home is a French Chateau!
Way down south in Dixie
[Chorus]: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Come on, Swing Low, and carry me home
[Verse 2]: Oh, I come from South
From the deep, deep South
Where the fields of cotton just die with blight
And my Pappy just sits while with his pipe
While my Alabama Mammy plays Bridge all night!
Way down south in Dixie
[Chorus]: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
[Verse 3] Come On, Comе On, Come On!
Carry me home!
Oh, I comе from South. Got dis South in my mouth!
Uncle Tom’s cabin got a new routine, Liza crossed the ice in a limousine..
While ol’ Simon Legree shakes a tambourine
Way down south in Dixie!
[Chorus] Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Swing Low..
Sweet Chariot
[Judy] Listen Here, ya won’t let me speak!
Don’t ya know Suwanee River is dried up creek?
[Chorus] Come on, and carry me home
(La da, la da, Woah, Da, da, da, da, da, da, da!)
