Swing low, sweet chariot
Negro spiritual
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,
coming for to carry me home.
A band of Angels, coming after me,
coming for to carry me home.

Why don't you swing down chariot stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down chariot stop and let me ride
swing down chariot stop and let me ride
coming for to carry me home.

If you get there before I do,
comin' for to carry me home,
tell all my friends I'm coming too,
comin' for to carry me home.

Swing low, ........

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down,
comin' for to carry me home,
but still my soul coming heavenly bound,
comin' for to carry me home.

Swing low, .......

Why don't you swing down chariot stop and let me ride
Why don't you swing down chariot stop and let me ride
swing down chariot stop and let me ride
coming for to carry me home.

Why don't you swing down chariot stop and let me ride....
....coming for to carry, coming for to carry,
coming for to carry me home.

Scendi piano dolce carro, ti prego,
rallenta, fermati e fammi salire.
Mi porterai al di là del fiume Giordano, sull'altra riva,
dove ho visto una schiera di Angeli seguirmi,
e se tu andrai là prima di me,
dì ai miei fratelli che stò per arrivare.
A volte sono allegro a volte triste,
ma la mia anima sò che è in cammino verso il cielo.
Rallenta dolce carro, fermati e fammi salire.
