I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain When She Comes
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.177
D - - - / D - A - / D D7 G - / D A D -
According to R.U.S., a parody of the old camp meeting song "Ship of Zion". Woah. I want to learn that one too. Mostly because that sounds like an awesome name for a ship. "Zion" is one of the most majestic proper nouns in English, really. I mean, in Hebrew.
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (toot toot!) (2x)
She'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (toot toot!)
She'll be riding six white horses when she comes (woah back!)...
She'll be wearing pink pyjamas when she comes (scratch scratch!)...
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes ("Hi babe!")...
Oh, we'll kill the old red rooster when she comes (hack hack!)...
Oh, we'll all have chicken and dumplings when she comes (yum yum!)...
Oh, she'll have to sleep with grandpa when she comes (snore snore!)...
