Golden Gate Quartet Vol. 5 (1945-1949)
Swing low, swing low
Swing low, sweet chariot

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
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
I've got a home on the other side

Well, well, (swing, swing, swing)
Well, well, well, well (swing, swing, swing)
Well, Ezekiel went down in the middle of the field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
"What's so particular about that 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
I've got a home on the other side

Well, well, (swing, swing, swing)
Well, well, well, well. (swing, swing, swing)
Ole Ezekiel went down and got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' and on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' on 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
I've got a home on the other side

Well, I got a father in the Promised Land
I won't stop until 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
I've got a home on the other side
