A old spiritual sung by plantation slaves.
Recently popularized (in the UK) by the success of England's rugby squad in the Rugby World Cup and in particular Fly-Half Jonny
Wilkinson. He scored a conversion in the last 90 seconds or so, putting the score ahead to 20-17, from 17-17.
For those who come from non-rugby playing countries:
Try: 5 points.
Conversion: 3 points. Mr
Wilkinson's speciality.

E.T.A.
28th August 1963. Possibly, the "Sweet Chariot" symbolizes civil rights legislation that may free the oppressed black peoples of America, and everywhere in a more general way.
