Traditional
Every Time I Feel The Spirit / Swing Low, Sweet Chariot / They Hung Him On The Cross
[Intro: Leadbelly]
Methodist people, they got their own way to sing, if I have to say
And they sing:
[Chorus 1: Leadbelly with crowd]
Every time I feel the spirit movin' in my heart, I will pray
Sing it
Every time I feel the spirit movin' in my heart, I will pray
Do it again
Every time I feel the spirit movin' in my heart, I will pray
Every time I feel the spirit movin' in my heart, I will pray
[Bridge: Leadbelly]
Now the Baptist come along, they sing:
[Chorus 2: Leadbelly with crowd]
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
A-comin' for to carry me home
[Verse 2: Leadbelly with crowd]
I looked over yonder, far as I could see
A-comin' for to carry me home
It's a band of angels comin' after me home
A-comin' for to carry me home
[Chorus 2: Leadbelly with crowd]
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
A-comin' for to carry me home
[Bridge: Leadbelly]
Well, you know, the Holy Ghost people got their own way to sing, I have to say, and they sing:
[Verse 3: Leadbelly with crowd]
They hung him on a cross, they hung him on the cross
They hung him on a cross for me
One day, when I was lost, they hung him on a cross
And they hung him on a cross for me
What'd they do?
They speared him in the side, they speared him in the side
They speared him in the side for me
One day, when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
And they speared him in the side for me
Blood come
And the blood come streamin' down
And the blood come streamin' down
And the blood come streamin' down for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
And the blood come streamin' down for me
He hung his head and died, he hung his head and died
He hung his head and died for me
One day, when I was lost, they hung him on a cross
And he hung his head and died for me
What did he say?
He never said a mumblin' word, he never said a mumblin' word
He never said a mumblin' word for me
One day, when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
And he never said a mumblin' word for me
He's comin' back again, he's comin' back again
He's comin' back again for me
One day, when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
And he's comin' back again for me
