Best Answer

The rhythm of Swing Low Sweet Chariot is often played or sung at a slow, steady pace. It sets the mood of longing that slaves often felt while trying to escape from their owners. The despair and desire of wanting to gain more freedom is further emphasized through the repetition of the lyric "coming for to carry me home".
