THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"

Swing low sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan
And what did I see
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm comin' to
Comin' for to carry me home

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Now he wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

Now Ezekiel went down and he got on board
The chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
He wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load
