Chorus: 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)
Chorus: If you get there before I do (Coming for to carry me home) Tell all of my friends, that I'm coming there too (Coming for to carry me home) - Licensing
