[Chorus]
Swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me, Lord; rock me, Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Chorus]
Swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me, Lord; rock me, Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Bridge]
Swing down, chariot
Swing down, chariot
Swing down, chariot
Swing down, chariot

[Verse 1]
Well, way down yonder in the middle of the field
You know there was sixteen characters they're workin' at the wheel
And they weren't so particular about workin' at the wheel
Well, they just wanna see how a chariot feels

[Verse 2]
Well, you know that I don't know; don't you know that I've been told
That those streets of Heaven, yes, they're paved with gold?
And you can talk about me just as much as you please
And I'll talk about you down on my knees
[Chorus]
Swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me, Lord; rock me, Lord, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Outro]
Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
You know I got a home on the other side
Well, swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride
You know I got a home on the other side
Well, swing down, chariot, calm and easy
I got a home on the other side
