She'll be comin' round the mountain,
When she comes.

She'll be comin' round the mountain,
When she comes.She'll be drivin' six white horses,
When she comes.
She'll be drivin' six white horses,

When she comes.Oh we'll all go to meet her,
When she comes.
Oh we'll all go to meet her,
When she comes.
We will kill the old red rooster,
We will kill the old red rooster,
And we'll all have chicken and dumplin',
When she comes.
