"She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain", also commonly called "Coming
'Round the Mountain", is an American folk song often categorized as children's music.
Although the first printed version of the song appeared in
The American Songbag in 1927, the song is believed to have been written
during the late 1800s. The song was based on an old Negro spiritual titled
"When the Chariot Comes".
During the 19th century the song spread through the east
where the lyrics were modified similar to what we hear today.
The
song was later sung by railroad work gangs in the Midwestern United
States in the 1890s.
