That's 'cause we, we believe in what we're singin' about
And uh, this is an old spiritual (old song, goes way back, yeah?)
Yes, it does (I can't remember when I first heard it)
This is- (I think it's a spiritual)
Uh-huh
It's a little bit different arrangement
We call it, Swing Down Sweet Chariot
Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Slow and easy
I've got a home
On the other side
Well, a lot of children joining in
What did I see?
(Comin' forward to carry me home)
But band of angels are coming after me
(Comin' forward to carry me home)
(Why don't you), swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride?
Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Slow and easy
I've got a home
On the other side
Well, a ticket, there'll be more, I do
(Comin' forward to carry me home)
Till on the feeds and I'm coming too
(Comin' forward to carry me home)
(Why don't you), swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride?
Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Slow and easy
I've got a home
On the other side
Well, I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down
(Comin' forward to carry me home)
Still my soul this heaven would bow
(Comin' forward to carry me home)
(Why don't you), swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride?
Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Slow and easy
I've got a home
On the other side
I've got a home
On the other side
I've got a home
On the other side
