Swing Down Sweet Chariot Lyrics
(arr. Elvis Presley) © '58 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI
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 calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
Well weel well well
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot...
Ezekiel 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...
Ezekiel 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...
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stoppin' still I shake his hand
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...
