Lyrics: Way down yonder in the middle of the field, Angel working at the chariot wheel, Not so particular 'bout working at the wheel, Just want to see how the chariot feels Oh let me fly, oh let me fly Let me fly to mount Zion, lord, lord Well I got a mother in the promised land Ain't gonna stop till I shake her hand Not so particular 'bout shaking her hand Just wanna get to the promised land Oh let me fly, oh let me fly Let me fly to mount Zion, lord, lord I heard such a rumbling in the sky I thought my lord was passing by It was the good old chariot drawing nigh Oh well it shook the earth swept the sky Oh let me fly, oh let me fly Let me fly to mount Zion, lord, lord |
