She’ll be coming round the mountain is an American folk song that is loved by children from all English speaking corners of the globe.

Written in the late 1800s, the song was supposedly crafted by workers building a train track. During work they used to sing the song when they were laying down the planks for the tracks.

Currently the song is usually sung in collections of children’s music with slightly different lyrics. The song has been recorded by musicians ranging from Pete Seeger to Barney the Dinosaur and will forever go down as one of the most popular kids songs on record.
