I don't mind if it's the UB40 version but would prefer Clapton's.

  1. Traditional Lyrics

    Lyrics are as follows:

    Chorus (in bold):

    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 what did I see

    Coming for to carry me home

    A band of angels coming after me

    Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)

    Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down

    Coming for to carry me home

    But still my soul feels heavenly bound

    Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)

    The brightest day that I can say,

    Coming for to carry me home,

    When Jesus washed my sins away,

    Coming for to carry me home.

    (Chorus)

    If I get there before you do

    Coming for to carry me home

    I'll cut a hole and pull you through

    Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)

    If you get there before I do

    Coming for to carry me home

    Tell all my friends I'm coming too

    Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)

    [edit] Gestures that sometimes accompany the song

    Here is one version of the gestures for the chorus as done by rugby union fans, Hash House Harriers and US air force fighter pilots:

    Swing low: Hand clasped and fingers interlocked motion with arms

    sweet: kiss fingers and blow kiss

    chariot:' snapping invisible reins and shaky voice as if riding in a chariot

    coming: make a masturbatory gesture

    for: hold up four fingers

    to: hold up two fingers

    carry: cradle arms as if carrying baby

    me: point to self

    home: make arc over head with arms

    The gestures continue in a similar vein for the rest of the lyrics. These gestures are also used as a drinking game. The first person to incorrectly give the gestures for this song is required to buy the next round of drinks.

    Swing Low is also the "Hash Hymn" and 'official' ending to many Hash House Harriers circles. The basic lyrics and gestures are the same as described here although there are many, many variations including: s****.-Doo, Helen Keller, Stevie Wonder, Christopher Reeve, Raul Julia ,silent, humming and harlots.

  3. I don't know about your question but can I offer some advice for tomorrow?  Board up your windows, nail down the sofa, stock the fridge with juice and snacks and maybe even invest in some hankies.  Oh, and make sure you have petrol in the car in case you have to make a quick trip to casualty after an accidentally rough half time tackle in the back garden!  Good luck :)
