George Clinton
Swing Down, Sweet Chariot (Live/1977)
[Intro: Parliament, George Clinton]
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Sing a little bit louder out there, y'all
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Hey, give them a little more foot out there in the PA's
So we want it to feel like a heartbeat
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Hey fellas up here, just hit at the foot
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Right here
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Hey, come here, Glenn, come here, Glenn
I want just Glenn to sing this song right here
Everybody else be cool
Y'all put your hands together
[Refrain: Parliament]
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
[Bridge over refrain: Glenn Goins]
Swing down, I wanna ride
Swing down, I wanna ride
Swing down, I wanna ride
Swing down, I wanna ride
I can feel the Mothership
I can feel the presence of the Mothership
I can feel the Mothership is somewhere around
Feels like the Mothership is getting ready to come down
Swing down, I wanna ride
Swing down, I wanna ride
Oh, swing down, I wanna ride, hey hey hey
Swing down, I wanna ride
Oakland, do you wanna ride?
I can't hear ya, Oakland, do you want to ride tonight?
Do you want the Mothership to land then say "Yeah"
Let me hear everybody say "Yeah"
Come on, y'all help me sing the song
Said swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Come on, sing, y'all
If you sing a little louder, maybe the Mothership'll come down while we're in here
Come on, swing down, sing
Come on, y'all
Let me ride, sing, y'all
Let me ride, swing down, yeah, let me ride
Swing down, let me ride
I can feel the Mothership comin'
I can feel the Mothership getting closer, coming down on me
I can feel the Mothership coming closer, come on
Come on, y'all
Come on, let me ride
Swing down

Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and
