Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is a Negro Spiritual recorded by the group called "The Southern Four" in Dec. of 1921. The song was composed around 1860 by Wallis Willis, a Choctaw freedman in Southern Oklahoma. Willis was inspired by The Red River, which reminded him of the Jordan River and the Prophet Elijah ascending to heaven in a chariot. The lyrics symbolically referred to the Underground Railroad.
