Text of the Poem
Swing low sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home,
Swing low sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan, an' what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.
If you get-a dere befo' I do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home.
