Swing Down, Chariot
The Staple Singers

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot, stop and let me ride

Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride

Oh rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy

I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot, stop and let me ride

Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride

Oh rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy I've got a home on the other side

Swing swing swing swing...

Looked over yonder, what did I see?

Two white chariots, lord coming after me

Two white horses running side by side

Swing down sweet chariot, lord and let me try to ride

Why don't you, swing down chariot, stop and let me ride Swing down chariot, stop and let me ride

Oh rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy I've got a home on the other side

I met my mother this morning, coming up the hill so soon Trying to get to heaven in due time, 'fore the heaven doors close

Trying to get to heaven in due time, 'fore the heaven doors close

Wake me, shake me, don't let me sleep too late

Wake up, judgement in the morning, swing on the golden gate

Wake up, judgement in the morning, swing on the golden gate

Wake me, shake me, don't let me sleep to late

Trying to get to heaven in due time, 'fore the heaven doors close

Trying to get to heaven in due time, 'fore the heaven doors close

Don't you know that I'm bound I'm bound for higher ground

I'm seeking the golden crown

Can't remain on this earthly plane I'm bound for higher ground

I'm bound, I'm bound for higher ground

I'm seeking, I'm seeking the golden crown

Can't remain on this earthly plane, I'm bound for higher ground
