I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm coming too
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Why don’t you swing down chariot, stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride
Rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord, calm and easy
I’ve got a home on the other side

All a di man dem, all di woman
Come gather round inna congregation
Listen to the word of the preacher man
Open ono ear an you’ll understand
Sufferation haffi come to an end
Sweet chariot now come round the bend
Tell it to your family, tell it to your friend
Celebration ？ everyone must attend!

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
