She used to say she was an orphan
Never was exactly the truth
It's just her mother got tired
Tired of her hanging round
So she ended up living in a home for girls
A straight hair kid in a house full of curls
A straight haired kid always hanging around
She'd sing swing low
Sweet chariot
She's coming for to carry me home
So the first chance she got she said I do
To a tall town boy who said me too
Honorable mention all district quarterback
He said I'll carry you away
She left him drunk on a stool in a county line bar
Going on about high school
How he was a star
She just got tired, tired of him hanging around
She'd sing swing low
Sweet chariot
She's coming for to carry me home
dairy queen
Had two baby boys two more diamond rings
The husbands they were brave
But she split that one horse town
Just got tired all the people hanging around
Split that one horse town
Now she lives outside LA
With a broke down baseball player
Used to playdouble A
Religious man
Never drinks or swears
She's tired of all the talk about her
Getting saved
Tired of all the talk about
Revelation days
She's tired
Tired of him hanging around
She sings swing low
Sweet chariot
She's coming for to carry me home
Never was exactly the truth
It's just her mother got tired
Tired of her hanging round
So she ended up living in a home for girls
A straight hair kid in a house full of curls
A straight haired kid always hanging around
She'd sing swing low
Sweet chariot
She's coming for to carry me home
So the first chance she got she said I do
To a tall town boy who said me too
Honorable mention all district quarterback
