Swing Low (from the album “My Lord What a Mornin”, 1960) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin′ forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' forth to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin′ forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' forth to carry me home

I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Comin' forth to carry me home
A band of angels comin′ after me
Comin′ forth to carry me home


Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' forth to carry me home
Oh, swing low, sweet chariot
Comin′ forth to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Comin' forth to carry me home
Tell all my friends I′m coming too
Comin' forth to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin′ forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' forth to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' forth to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin′ forth to carry me home
