"She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" (also sometimes called simply "Coming 'Round the Mountain") is a traditional folk song often categorized as children's music. The song is derived from a Christian song known as "When the Chariot Comes". The song's style is reminiscent of the call and response structure of many folk songs; among them are songs with a similar verse-structure but variant melodies, such as "If You're Happy and You Know It". The first printed version of the song appeared in Carl Sandburg's The American Songbag (1927). Sandburg reports that a Negro spiritual “When the Chariot Comes", sung to the same melody, was adapted by railroad workers in the 1890s in the midwest. It is often heard today with responses that add on to the previous verse. The song ostensibly refers to the Second Coming of Christ and subsequent Rapture, with the 'she' referring to the chariot that the returning Christ is pictured as driving. Like many spirituals originating in the African-American community, this was possibly a coded anthem for the Underground Railroad.
