Title: Medley of Deep River, Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen, and Swing Low Sweet Chariot
Composer: Various Negro Spirituals
Lyrics:
Deep river, my home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
Nobody knows the trouble I've been through
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Glory hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Oh, yes, Lord
Nobody knows the trouble I've been through
Nobody knows my sorrow
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.
If you get there before I do,
Coming for to carry me home.
Tell all my friends Iām coming too,
Coming for to carry me home.
