[Verse 1]
Well, I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home
There was a band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

[Chorus]
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

[Verse 2]
I'm sometimes up, and I'm sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But but I know my soul is heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home

[Chorus]
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

[Verse 3]
If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'm a-coming too
Coming for to carry me home
[Chorus]
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

[Outro]
And now they're coming for to carry me home
