Lyric Swing Down Sweet Chariot

(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)
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 ve 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 ve got a home on the other side

Well, well, well, well, well, well

Ezekial 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
Stop and let me ride
Swing down 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, well, well Ezekial 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
Stop and let me ride
Swing down 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 I got a father in the promised land
Ain t no more stoppin till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I ve 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 ve got a home on the other side
