1She'll be comin' round the mountain,
2    When she comes.
3She'll be comin' round the mountain,
4    When she comes.
5She'll be comin' round the mountain,
6She'll be comin' round the mountain,
7She'll be comin' round the mountain,
8    When she comes.
9She'll be drivin' six white horses,
10    When she comes.
11She'll be drivin' six white horses,
12    When she comes.
13She'll be drivin' six white horses,
14She'll be drivin' six white horses,
15She'll be drivin' six white horses,
16    When she comes.
17Oh we'll all go to meet her,
18    When she comes.
19Oh we'll all go to meet her,
20    When she comes.
21We will kill the old red rooster,
22We will kill the old red rooster,
23And we'll all have chicken and dumplin',
24    When she comes.
