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.
Swing Low, Sweet Chaaariot,
Comin' for to carry me home...

Swing Low, Sweet Chaaariot,
Comin' for to carry me home...

...and so on.

Swing Low primarily refers to their eventual semblances of freedom, 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.

When two men kneel facing each other naked and attempt to swing each other's ballsacks into one another, a reference to the old negro spiritual.
