"She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain"
(aka simply "Coming 'Round the Mountain") is a traditional folk song
often categorized as children's music.
Although the first printed version of the song appeared in Carl Sandburg's
The American Songbag (1927),
it is believed to have originated during late 1800s, based on an old spiritual titled
"When the Chariot Comes"
sung to the same melody, which during the 19th century spread through Appalachia,
where the lyrics were changed
into their current form, which is often heard today with responses that add on to
the previous verse.
