Swing low … sweet chariot

Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low … sweet chariot

Comin' for to carry me home.

Well, I looked over Jordan and what did I see

Comin' for to carry me home …

A band of angels runnin after me

They was-a comin' for to carry me home.

Look down …

Look down

That lonesome road

Before you travel on.

Look up …

Give a look up

And seek your maker

Before Mr. Gabriel blows his horn.

You know I’m weary

From all this load

Tired of movin’ on down

This long and lonely road.

Look down … look down

Look down … look down

That lonesome road

Before … before you travel on …

Before … way long time …

‘fore you travel on …

Lyrics provided by Michael Cembalest
