Presley, Elvis - Swing Down Sweet Chariot Lyrics






Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Well, well, well, well, well, well

Ezekial went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Well, well, well Ezekial went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stoppin' till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

  24. E.... ....

    Director: "Cut! We've got enough for this scene."
    Elvis: "Hell, no. Let's keep going!"

  25. C.... W....

    Love this movie and song and elvis

  26. P.... H....

    I like the part when he liked the ballet dancers.

  27. P.... H....

    I think he would have done mostly gospel (maybe some rockabilly), if he had a different manager (that is if he wasn't manufactured -- after all it was tabu for girls who could afford records to flip out over cute black guys so someone came up with this product -- had it not been tabu, I believe Elvis still would have been successful and sold records but the sound and types of music might not have been exactly the same -- and if he wasn't quite the superstar he was, he may have been able to go to the ball game and sit in the grandstand safely). How's that for a speculation?

  28. e.... V....

    Beutiful beutiful beutiful beutiful man 😍
    Beutiful beutiful beutiful beutiful voice 💜

  29. j.... J....

    Poor Elvis, he was out of his tree, all you have to do was look at his eyes. He was surrounded by sychophants and yes men. But then, I doubt anyone could tell Elvis what to do. Man, he could sing, such a shame he died so young.

  30. P.... O....

    He looked pretty damn good in this movie

  31. e.... V....

    io ti voglio Elvis 😘😍😄😏😆😃

  32. s.... r....

    Fun Facts: This group backed up Elvis for "One Broken Heart For Sale".
    The group is called The Mellomen and famously known for "Grim Grinning Ghost" as heard in Disney's Haunted Mansion ride as the Singing Busts. Note that the Mellomen provided the vocals - not the visuals for the bust.

    The gentlemen on the end is Thurl Ravencroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger and also known for the song, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the original "Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" animated classic.

    I bet you didn't know all that.

  42. D.... H....

    Love this,NOBODY can sing it like Elvis. Love you Elvis. Miss you being around.

  49. e.... ....

    No one can beat Elvis on stage

  50. R.... N....

    Bizarre feature amongst the Elvis films... However, in this period Elvis is thin, looking terrific like no other, coming off the 68 Comeback Special, with a hit record climbing the charts... '68-'72 great Elvis

    R.... N....

    Umm... not 73? Aloha?!? Lol. I'd say '54-'73... The divorce destroyed him, and it showed. Also, he had undeniably hit his peak with the satellite concert. There was really nowhere to go but down for him after that. When you're that high up, the fall can be quite swift and pronounced. It's honestly amazing he held out as long as he did.

  51. C.... M....

    Elvis,god love you and you love god.Rip king of music.❤😍😇😉😥👑💋🎤🎶🎸👍👌

  52. S.... D....

    He was getting toward his very best here. Two years later, he was at his very best in `That`s The Way it Is.`

  53. F.... A....

    Okay.....lots of information here.....everything EXCEPT which movie this was from.

    F.... A....

    Fred, its from the movie "The Trouble With Girls."

    F.... A....

    Thanks....always an Elvis fan to the rescue.

  54. N.... S....

    Great... and that guy on the right side had a damned deep bass.

  55. J.... D....

    Elvis brings the crowd

  56. R.... E....

    Love them old wooden folding chairs

  57. A.... H....

    Truly brilliant tune,by simply the greatest,

  58. j.... s....

    Elvis and thurl ravenscroft. Awesome

  59. P.... D....

    Love It!!! This is what I want to see Elvis doing. What he loved. Not all the bs and lies that people keep making up to line their pockets with.

  60. J.... ....

    Elvis was at his most handsome from 1967-1969.

  61. E.... ....

    You can see Elvis's love of gospel in this number. I've got a feeling he just kept going when the director tried to cut.

  62. R.... ....

    This guy was the entire package.
    Looks, talent, swager, and humble guy.
    Never be another like him..

    R.... ....

    Never be another one! He was the total package

    R.... ....

    Amen to that ❤️

  63. A.... T....

    He rocked those bible bashers out of the church's amen!!!

  64. T.... M....

    Just music with no relation to the meaning of the lyrics.

  65. L.... R....

    MR. ELVIS A. PRESLEY ALWAYS EQUALS EXCELLENT ACTOR IN MY MIND. HE MADE THAT CLEAR FROM HIS VERY FIRST MOVIE AND ALSO MY PERSONAL .💜🖤👣💗 FAV. KING CREOLE. 🤓

  66. p.... ....

    >Parliament Funkadelic >Dr Dre

  72. j.... m....

    J adorais également tous ses films ❤❤❤❤❤

  73. A.... R....

    I thought my life was over, I was barely 13 when Mami started going to church that didn't allow worldly music. I died and went to heaven when she bought an Elvis vinyl with what she considered was Christian music, this song was in it. I replayed that vinyl so much it would get stuck in the scratches. Dancing was not allowed but I would dance to the songs when she wasn't around. :))) Thank you, for sharing... love it..!!

    A.... R....

    That's an awesome comment 😊

  74. L.... H....

    Qué espectáculo de hombre, ni antes, ni durante, ni después, existió ni existirá otro hombre así con ese talento, carisma y atractivo físico.

    L.... H....

    Elvis ser de otro PLANETA 💞💜💚💛💙💖💟

  75. S.... M....

    love Elvis in this movie he was Gorgeous in this movie a funny.

  76. J.... J....

    This was by far his best film song performance since 12 years earlier in "Loving You"--the only other film performance that was even close was 1963's "C'Mon Everybody" duet with Ann-Margret. Why? Because this was music that he actually CARED about.

  77. J.... L....

    This was actually one of Elvis' final movie roles and he didn't appear in it until almost a half hour into it. The film is loaded with recognizable character actors of the late 60's including Vincent Price at one point and the film had a solid storyline and not many songs.

  78. s.... P....

    If anyone needs to buy Elvis Presley records I have some for sale. Mr Dee. Seeber

  79. D.... G....

    I always loved his gospel music.When I saw this movie in 1970 I was 16 years old and so much wanted a suit like that. To this day never maged it but it would not have looked as good on me.

  80. A.... L....

    ELVIS SIEMPRE ELVIS!! ME GUSTA MUCHO SU MUSICA!!😘😘😘

  81. M.... P....
