Rags To Rufus
Swing Down Chariot

Why don't you Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, Rock me lord
Come in easy
i got a home on the other side

Swing

what did i see ? chariot coming after me
two wild hearts were running side by side
swing down sweet chariot and let your child ride
(why don't ya)

Swing down...

I got a home on the other side

I would addend with:

come in easy = calm and easy
two wild hearts = 2 white horses running side by side

Tryin to get to heaven in new time = due time

Wake up to Heaven in the morning, swing on the golden gate

I'm seekin the holy crown.

Can't remain on this earthly plane, I'm bound for higher ground
I Met my mother this morning
coming up the hill so soon
Trying to get to heaven in new time
fore the heaven go cool

Wake me shake me don't let me sleep too late
wake up early the morning
swing on the golden gate

trying to get to heaven in new time
for the heaven done cool

I'm bound for higher ground
I'm singing the holy crown
Can't remain on the surface plane

I'm bound for higher ground

(repeat over and over)
