Grab your banjo and hop on this musical journey! “She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain” is an American folk song that has had kids and adults toe-tapping for generations.
The song originally comes from an older tune called “When the Chariot Comes,” which is a spiritual song from African-American culture. This older song was included in a book from 1899 called “Old Plantation Hymns,” put together by William Eleazar Barton.

Let’s not overlook the educational pit stops along the way! This tune encourages kids to exercise their imagination as they visualize the scenes described in the lyrics. Plus, the repetition in the song aids in memory and language development — basically, a whole lot of learning bundled up in a joyful tune!
And it’s great for teaching English to young learners, too.
