Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming for to carry me home

 

I looked over Jordan, and I what did I see

Coming for to carry me home?

A band of angels coming after me

Coming for to carry me home

 

If you get there before I do

Coming for to carry me home

Tell all my friends I coming too

Coming for to carry me home

 

I'm sometimes up, I'm sometimes down

Coming for to carry me home

But still my soul feels heavenly bound

Coming for to carry me home

 

Boring game this, can we go to the pub now|?

Not many people know that....

 

The codes of the first ***** spirituals are often related with an escape to a free country. For example, a “home†is a safe place where everyone can live free. So, a “home†can mean Heaven, but it covertly means a sweet and free country, a haven for slaves.

 

The ways used by fugitives running to a free country were riding a “chariot†or a “trainâ€.

 

The ***** spirituals “The Gospel Train†and “Swing low, sweet chariot†directly refer to the Underground Railroad, an informal organization who helped many slaves to flee.

 

The words of “The Gospel train†are “She is coming… Get onboard… There’s room for many moreâ€. This is a direct call to go way, by riding a “train†which stops at “stationsâ€.

 

Then, “Swing low, sweet chariot†refers to Ripley, a “station†of the Underground Railroad, where fugitive slaves were welcome. This town is atop a hill, by Ohio River, which is not easy to cross. So, to reach this place, fugitives had to wait for help coming from the hill. The words of this spirituals say,“I looked over Jordan and what did I see/ Coming for to carry me home/ A band of angels coming after meâ€
