Swing Low Sweet Chariot Lyrics - Jan Howard

[ Jan ] 

I looked over Jordan and what did I see 

[ Bill ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

A band of angels comin' after me 

[ Jan ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

[ Both ] 

Swing low swing low sweet chariot comin' for to carry me home 

Swing low swing low sweet chariot comin' for to carry me home 

[ Jan ] 

If you get there before I do 

[ Bill ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

Tell all of my friends I'm comin' too 

[ Jan ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

[ Both ] 

Swing low swing low sweet chariot... 

[ steel - guitar ] 

[ Jan ] 

I remember well my brightest day 

[ Bill ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

When Jesus washed my sins away 

[ Jan ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

[ Both ] 

Swing low swing low sweet chariot... 

[ Jan ] 

I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down 

[ Bill ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

But still my soul feels heavenly bound 

[ Jan ] 

Comin' for to carry me home 

[ Both ] 

Swing low swing low sweet chariot...
