"Swing Low..." can also be sung with "When The Saints Go Marching In". This 
(two or more songs sung together) is known as a quodlibet; one of the best-
known ones here is (or WAS--it's quite old) "East Side, West Side"/"In the 
Good Old Summertime". 

My college group used to do "Swing Low..."/"...Saints..." with my buddy 
Darrel doing the chorus of "Dominique" (in Spanish, yet, rather than French) 
(he was the ONLY one who knew that one).

Hmmm...if "Swing Low" can be done to EITHER "Saints" or "Amazing Grace", it's 
likely they can all be done as a three-parter!
