“Coming ’round the mountain” is a song that has strong childhood implications for me. It brings forth memories of innocence and wonder. I’ve sang it with my child and many other children who are not mine (that I know of) in moments of celebration and merriment.
Only until recently, after a heartfelt conversation I had with my chaste wife, have I realized that this song holds a deeper meaning. A meaning that other parents should definitely take heed of. I don’t mean to cause alarm, but holy fart stars is this song filthy.
(In response to THIS, THIS and THIS).
Preface
The song is a euphemistic dynamo of sexual subversiveness and depravity. Rumour has it that the song supposedly references the second coming of Jesus, but after a little digging and some journalistic gumption, I’ve realized that it’s not about God’s kid at all. It’s about a woman and her odyssey of ‘doing it’ for personal hedonistic gratification.
The lyrics
1: She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes
She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes
She’ll be coming ’round the mountain, she’ll be coming ’round the mountain
She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes.
2: She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes
She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes
She’ll be driving six white horses, she’ll be driving six white horses
She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes.
3: We’ll all go out to meet her when she comes
We’ll all go out to meet her when she comes
We’ll all go out to meet her, we’ll all go out to meet her
We’ll all go out to meet her when she comes.
4: She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes
She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes
She will have to sleep with Grandma, she will have to sleep with Grandma,
She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes.
5: We’ll kill the old red rooster when she comes
We will kill the big red rooster when she comes
We’ll kill the big red rooster, we will kill the big red rooster
We’ll kill the big red rooster when she comes.
6: She will bring us to the portals when she comes
She will bring us to the portals when she comes
She will bring us to the portals, she will bring us to the portals
She will bring us to the portals when she comes .
7: We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes.
We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes.
We will all have chicken and dumplings, we’ll all have chicken and dumplings.
We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes.
What the lyrics mean
1: “She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes”
A bit redundant for shock value no doubt. She’ll be orgasming around the mountain when she orgasms? Get ahold of yourself (not literally).
2: “She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes”
My friend’s older sister had a personal gratification device called “Six white horses”. It took a lot of batteries and sounded like a leaf blower. I think of her fondly for some reason.
3: “We’ll all go out to meet her when she comes”
A group of people, joining together, to watch someone gratuitously ‘happen’? Sick, dirty and tickets are way too over-priced.
4: “She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes”
This one writes itself.
5: “We’ll kill the old red rooster when she comes”
This is a reference to the post coital masculine reticence. Also acceptable are ‘flogging the dolphin’, ‘burping the worm’ or ‘watching the sneezed weasel wither’. What was once mighty, is now slumbering in the barnyard.
6: “She will bring us to the portals when she comes”
This has one of two meanings. When I was growing up, The Portals was an establishment for adult males to find gratification with the exchanging of funds or wares. With that said, the portals could also just be another word for climaxing. As in, “I’m about to portal” or “I portaled so hard I burst a blood vessel in my eye” or “I portaled ’round the mountain”.
7: “We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes”
As everyone knows, ‘chicken and dumplings‘ is a non-specific form of sexual gratification. I could mean second base. It could mean third. It could mean the ol’ how do you do. It could also mean tongue bathing the Sarlacc. It is such a filthy reference that you should just forget I said anything and wash your eyes.
Conclusion
Your children are in danger! Being taught a safe version of the most fundamental of human interactions is unhealthy and frightening. This song is a perfect example of the subversive lengths that teachers and educators will go to in hopes of manipulating your child in to doing sex. Needless to say, I’ve already called my ombudsman about getting this song banned in not only my city, but my mind.

Another snowflake offended by something so innocent. I second the mention of the history of this song. It’s history goes back to the late 1800’s and spread in the early 1900’s through the Appalachian range. Some versus were altered and thought to be used to communicate within and for the under ground railroad.

Whether you meant this as a “tongue in cheek” satire or stating an honest belief, there is a problem with publishing something like this without identifying which it is. There are people out there that will see this and (copyrights be damned) copy it into an email and send it to ten friends, who will each send it to ten friends, and so on. Somewhere along the line the satire and/or truth will be lost and you have started another worthless argument.

You realize that this song is FAR older than “personal gratification devices” or batteries, right? I seriously doubt six white horses has ANYTHING to do with that… Also just because your town has a random adult bar named “the portal” does not mean that everyone thinks of that reference the same way. And lastly, I have never in my entire life heard the verse saying she’s gonna bring us to a portal anyway. This song is most likely about Mother Jones who traveled through the Appalachian Mountains to promote labor unions for coal miners…I found that on wikipedia just before reading your asinine blog post.

This is a song of celebration. I’m alot older than some of the people out there and I grew up on a farm. For special occasions and for Sunday dinner, my mom would go out to catch a chicken and kill it. Then we’d pull off it’s feathers and it’s pin feathers, so we could eat it. Sometimes we made dumplings to go with it. Now I know I’ve upset some of you by describing this (I left out how to kill a chicken) but I’m sure you know they aren’t grown without feathers…we just buy them that way now. Chicken was a special meal, like ham or turkey for the holiday season. Take your mind out of the gutter. I found the underground railroad article & all I wanted to know was why there’s 6 horses and if it refers to a steam railroad at the end of the escape.
