That's right. Silence is a good quality to cultivate for women, right Sylvia?

"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" was composed by Wallis Willis, a Choctaw freedman in the old Indian Territory, sometime before 1862. He was inspired by the Red River which reminded him of the Jordan River and of the Prophet Elijah being taken to heaven by a chariot. Many non-scholarly sources [clarification needed] (see Songs of the underground railroad) claim that this song and "Steal Away"—also composed by Willis—had hidden lyrics referring to the Underground Railroad.
Alexander Reid, a minister at a Choctaw boarding school, heard Willis singing these two songs and transcribed the words and melodies. He sent the music to the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. The Jubilee Singers then popularized the songs during a tour of the United States and Europe.

Hi everybody.
I had to sign off at 4 pm on yesterday.
Grace, I'm glad you enjoyed the songs.
John Doe, women should not keep silent! If we did, how would you men make it?
Bek, Amazing Grace, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder were written by those who had seen the worst in humanity.
It's no wonder that they touch our collective souls.

Modified to appease your delicate sensibilities. And my glow of happiness has dimmed.
