Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (with overdubs) Songtext
von B.B. King

Swing low (ooh)
Sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home (ooh, ooh)

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Well, I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?
Comin′ for to carry me home
Well, ah-well, a band of angels, a-comin' after me
Coming for to carry me home

Well, if you get there before I do
Comin′ for to carry me home
Well, you tell all my friends that I'm comin' there too
Coming for to carry me home


Why don′t you swing down chariot? Stop it
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop it
Let me ride, eh, rock me low (rock me low)
So uneasy
I got all on the other side

Swing down chariot stop it
Let me ride
Swing down chariot stop it
Let me ride
Eh, rock me low (rock me low) oh
(So uneasy)
I got all on the other side

Two white horses riding side by side
Comin′ here to take me for a ride
Eh, rock me low (rock me low)
So uneasy
I got all on the other side
