Lyrics:

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 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 got a home on the other side

Well, well
Well, well, well, well

Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel working 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 got a home on the other side

Well, well
Well

Ezekiel went down, and he got on board
Chariot went a-bumping on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumping 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 got a home on the other side

Well, I got a Father in the promised land
Ain't gonna stop till I shake His hand
Rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord
Calm and easy
I 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 got a home on the other side
