Third World - Swing Low lyrics

rate me

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Jah Jah chariot

Jah Jah chariot

Jah Jah chariot

Free as love can be

That's how free our love should be

We work our hearts for them day and night

But nothing ever seems to please them right

And every time you turn around

Somebody's trying to put you down

And every time you call a play

Some clown's getting in your way

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

All right, coming for to carry me home

Oh yeah, it's coming for to carry me home

Sometimes I wish that I

Could fly like a bird in the sky

Rise up above humanity

And mold us all in one with unity

'Cause every time you try to make a stride

Somebody want to check your life

Every time you try to go ahead

Somebody wish you'd step aside instead

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Oh oh, comin' for to carry me home

Yeah yeah, comin' for to carry me home

Check out the queen and the pawn

Oh, it's comin' for to carry me home

Swing swing swing swing swing swing low Jah

Jah

A comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low... no more longer shall I roam

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Come Jah Jah children

Comin' for to carry me home

Get the queen and the pawn

Comin' for to carry me home

Swing swing swing swing swing swing low Jah Jah

Swing your chariot to carry me home

Swing low...

Swing low...

Swing low...

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot

Swing low, Jah Jah chariot
