Sing Out Loud Traditional Songs
LYRICS:
SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT
(CHORUS) Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!
1. I looked over Jordan an' what did I see, Comin' for to carry me home? A band of angels comin' after me, Comin' for to carry me home. Repeat Chorus: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!
2. If you get there before I do, Comin' for to carry me home, Tell all my friends I'm comin' too, Comin' for to carry me home. Repeat Chorus: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!
3. Sometime I'm up, sometimes I'm down, Comin' for to carry me home. But still my soul feels heavenly bound. Comin' for to carry me home. Repeat Chorus: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home! Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home!

My grandma only has a few days left cause cancer. I am 15 and she's been teaching me to sing since I was 8. She's the reason I even like singing. We asked her if there's anything she wants us to do, and she wants me and my cousins who sing, though they don't sing infront of people, to sing this at the front of her funeral. She knows she's dying and sang this to us. She sings this to all her grandkids and now we are going to sing it for her as she passes to heaven. I don't really like the concept because I'm a little shy and don't like crying and I know it will make me cry, but my feeling about people seeing me shed a tear aren't even recognized by me if my nana wants me to do what she taught me to love. I would've never started singing if it wasn't for her, and I have many mental disabilitys and aspergers syndrome as well and music has helped me more than anything else. I kind of understand where your coming from, and they do play a large role in our life. Thank you Nana and God bless your grandpa

When I was 9 years old, I sat my first electric keyboard exam and this was the first piece. No piece of music that my ears have come across carried such emotion and deep meaning. Nearly a decade later, this song plays on loop in my head and has never once been forgotten. Truly amazing.

[@kylenestor2103]

[@jcmeek3]

My Dad loved "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" which he felt was a kind message from a loving Heavenly Father who would someday take him home to heaven accompanied by a band of angels. I love the pure tones of the singer! I wish I knew who she is! Thank you, whoever you are. You are giving a great gift to the world I think. - Doc Meek, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, Tues, Apr 7, 2015

Such a beautiful song that the slaves used to sang when they were in bondage and longed for their freedom..! A very sad story but I Truly loved this the SONG

[@angelajohnson7796]

This song was written by a black man who was a freed slave. It was written to commemorate the underground railway AFTER the civil war and adopted by black people as a gospel song and is sung today at funerals and churches etc.all over America. One of the great Louis Armstrong performances and believe it or not Martin Luther King who fought for blacks during the civil riots of the 60’s. No offence but I suggest you learn your history. I too love the song.

[@juliushinkle4706]

@@angelajohnson7796 Yeah my English teacher was telling us today that this song was used as a code to warn other slaves that help would be coming. She said that these songs were called spirituals to trick the slave masters into thinking that they were ‘’buying into Christianity’’. I’m not sure if that’s even true but it sounded like she was trying to bash Christianity which pissed me off

Funny considering this isn't a religious song, but instead a coded slave song talking about Harriet Tubman helping slaves through the underground railroad.

[@laviliburd]

@@TheGoldenTrout I’d say it’s both. We used to sing this in church when I was little. I miss these spirituals now that they’re “out of vogue” or their appropriateness for church is being questioned.

"A Short Life of Mark Twain": He went upstairs now, to the piano, and played and sang "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "My Lord He Calls Me." ... Mrs. Clemens from her room heard the music, and said to Katie Leary : "He is singing a good-night carol to me." The music ceased presently, and ... almost in that instant life slipped away without a sound.

Since I was a kid this has always been my go to tune. I sing it in my head my whole life all the time and I don't even know all of the words, I was goofily making some words up this am and decided I needed to finally know all the words after singing it wrong for 34 years. I hope they play it qt my funeral. That song us attached to my soul I feel. If I'm sad it comes to mind while I self soothe , and when I'm super happy it comes whailing out of me. And when I'm feeling goofy like this am this song along with a bunch of extra made up lyrics comes out of me !! Something about this song I deeply attached to me. If someone ever asked " what song does your soul sing" this would be it.
