no its not!

Swing Low Sweet Chariot is about dying BAG. It describes how Elijah was taken over the river Jordan by a flaming chariot surrounded by angels at the end of his life.

ok, i thought it was about african people escaping from slavery :dunce:

The actual music is a negro spiritual and as such was sung by the slaves in the USA. One of the reasons they sung it was because they were escaping the misery of their lives here for a better one in Heaven.
So you were partially right. :)

I think I'd have "Bury me deep in love" and "Save what you can" by The Triffids. They're both apt, moving, and slightly amusing in this context.
