[Chorus][x2]
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 got a home on the other side

[Break]
Well, well, well, well, well, well

[Verse 1]
Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel working on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

[Chorus]

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, well, well
Ezekiel went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumping on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumping of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stopping till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Chorus]
