Swing Down Sweet Chariot - Traditional Transcriptions
[Chorus]
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, and let me ride?
Swing down, sweet chariot, 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 (Swing, swing, swing)
Well, well, well, well (Swing, swing, swing)
Ezekiel went down in the middle of the field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

[Chorus]
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, and let me ride?
Swing down, sweet chariot, 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 (Swing, swing, swing)
Well, well, well, well (Swing, swing, swing)
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

[Chorus]
Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot, and let me ride?
Swing down, sweet chariot, and let me ride?
Rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord, calm and easy
Well, I've got a home on the other side
