Swing Low, Sweet Chariot; Comin' for to carry me home --
I was taught 70 years ago, to pronounce chariot in this song as chario', to rhyme with low or home. Everyone I meet these days thinks it should rhyme with not, got, rot. I think it is pretter with the open O sound. Was anyone else taught this way? Or have historical evidence of the open Oh sound?
