Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (Live) [12/20/77 In Concert, Hammersmith Odeon, London] Songtext
von Joan Baez

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,
coming for to carry me home;
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,
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.

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,
coming for to carry me home;
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,
coming for to carry me home.


Well, I′m sometimes up and I'm sometimes down,
Coming for to carry me home;
but my soul is always homeward bound,
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 that I′m acoming home too,
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.
