Why don't you swing down sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride

Swing down chariot

Stop and let me ride

Rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy

Well 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

Rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy

Well I’ve got a home on the other side



Well, well, well, well, well, well



Ezekial went down in the middle of a field

He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel

Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel

Just wanted to see how a chariot feel



Why don't you swing down sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride

Swing down chariot

Stop and let me ride

Rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy

Well I’ve got a home on the other side



Well, well, well Ezekial went down and he got on board

Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road

Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road

Just wanted to lay down his heavy load



Why don't you swing down sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride

Swing down chariot

Stop and let me ride

Rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy

Well I’ve got a home on the other side



Well I got a father in the promised land

Ain't no more stoppin' till I shake his hand

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

Rock me lord, rock me lord

Calm and easy

Well I’ve got a home on the other side
