No. 115. Good News, the Chariot's Coming
From "Hampton and its students;" by per.

Chorus:
Good news, the chariot's coming,
Good news, the chariot's coming,
Good news, the chariot's coming,
I don't want her leave a me behind.

1
Going to ride up* in the chariot,
Carry me home,
Ride up in the chariot, carry me home,
Ride up in the chariot, carry me home,
And I don't want her leave a me behind.
[Repeated]
2
There's a long white robe in the heaven, I know,
A long white robe in the heaven, I know
A long white robe in the heaven, I know
And I don't want her leave-a me behind.
There's a golden crown in the heaven, I know,
A golden crown in the heaven, I know,
A golden crown in the heaven, I know,
And I don't want her leave-a me behind.
Cho.- Good news, the chariot's coming, etc.
3
There's a golden harp in the heaven, I know,
A golden harp in the heaven, I know,
A golden harp in the heaven, I know,
And I don't her leave-a me behind.
There's silver slippers in the heaven, I know
Silver slippers in the heaven, I know,
Silver slippers in the heaven, I know,
And I don't want her leave-a me behind.
Cho.- Good news, the chariot's coming, etc.

*Fenner, in Religious Folk-Songs of the Negro as sung at Hampton Institute, has 'Get up' rather than 'ride up', and puts some words in dialect.
