Negro workaday songs

by Howard Washington Odum; Guy Benton Johnson

Thank God.

Goin’ to swing me to heaven,

Thank God,

Thank God.

King Jesus in de swinger,

Thank God.

King Jesus in de swinger,

Thank God,

Thank God.

[85] The idea for this novel song probably came from Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. It is another composition of Sanctified Mary Harris, as are also the two remaining songs in this chapter.
