Oh, Sweet Chariot Songtext
von Jackie DeShannon

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

Hey, I looked over Jordan, what did I see
Comin′ for to carry me home?
I see'd a band of angels comin' after me
Oh Lord, comin′ for to carry me home

Swing it, swing low, sweet, sweet chariot
Comin′ for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home


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

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

Are we gonna get, good God, a "Welcome, hi"?
Comin' for to carry me home
And I will not get to Heaven if I don′t let it ride
Comin′ for to carry me home

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


Oh well yeah, swing low, sweet, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet, sweet chariot
Comin′ for to carry me home
