SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT II I ain't never been to heaven, but Ah been told, Comin' fuh to carry me home, Dat de streets in heaben am paved with gold, Comin' fuh to carry me home. Cho: Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' fuh to carry me home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' fuh to carry me home. Dat ain't all, Ah got mo' besides, Ah been tuh de ribber an' Ah been baptize. Lemme tell yuh whut's a mattah o' fac', Ef yuh evah leaves de debbil, yuh nevah go back. Yuh see dem sisters dress so fine? Well, dey ain't got Jesus on dey min'. Ef salvation wuz a thing money could buy, Den de rich would live an de po' would die. But Ah'm so glad God fix it so, Dat the rich mus' die jes' as well as de po'! Archie A. Searcy, Houston, Texas, collected by John A. and Alan Lomax, American Ballads and Folk Songs, p. 608-610. All of these spirituals have verses that appear in others as well. @religion @spiritual filename[ SWINGLO2 TUNE FILE: SWINGLOW CLICK TO PLAY DX Feb07 |
