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
