Swing Low Lyrics

Better make it good
Better make it now
Well, baby we'll shake it hard
Nobody has to know

Sweet baby
Momma's baby
There's only one thing that can make you my lady

Swing low, down low, sweet chariot
If you know what I mean
I saw your face
Like you've never seen

Sweet baby
Momma's baby
There's only one thing that can make you my lady

Swing low, down low, sweet chariot

Make it uh, uh good
Make it, make it, make it now

We'l keep it our secret, honey
Way down low
Between me and you girl
Nobody has to know

Sweet baby
Momma's baby
There's only one thing that can make you my lady

Swing low, down low, sweet chariot

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

the third line is "well maybe we'll shake it, honey". then "swing low, down low, sweet chariot. if you know what i mean, i'll show you things, like you've never seen". also, after she says "make it, make it, make it now" she says "make it uh oh yeah".
