Craig Croker Sr - Sweet Chariot Lyrics

I woke up this morning and I cried Dear Lord you didn't answer my prayers
I said I'll be good through the night but please just don't bring me back here
Take me away in my dreams and my soul please do keep
I hear the alarm clock ring I awake and there she is sleep

Lord knows I've tried I've prayed my part and weathered through the storm
But I don't know why but when love is gone it's gone it's gone

Ooh Swing low sweet chariot come on and carry me on home
I'd rather be in Heaven on my own than to be on this Earth with you alone
Swing low sweet chariot come on and carry me on home
I'd rather be in Heaven on my own than to be on this Earth with you alone

Head on down to Ms Brandy's for a drink
Howdy ma'am I'll take a double shot
And since I don't get no southern hospitality
I'll take my southern comfort on the rocks
Now I sit and I think and I dwell oh my God my life is just hell
And I throw back them spirits in my soul and toss my hopes down the wishing well

Lord knows I've tried I've prayed my part and weathered through the storm
But I don't know why when love is gone it's gone it's gone

Ooh Swing low sweet chariot come on and carry me on home
I'd rather be in Heaven on my own than to be on this Earth with you alone
Swing low sweet chariot come on and carry me on home
I'd rather be in Heaven on my own than to be on this Earth with you alone

I won't be on this Earth with you alone
I won't be on this Earth with you alone
