VERSE 1
O, Mamma I'm excited
I'm almost out of breath
What I saw like t' made me
Run myself t' death
I was on the mountain side
When I looked down below
An' glory be, I thought better
Come an' let you know
That we've got company comin', company comin'
We got company comin' up th road
Their down th road about a mile
They'll be here in a little while
There's company comin' up th road
VERSE 2
Well, Granny change your apron
An' Wille shine your shoes
Sally put your new dress on
We've got no time t' lose
I'll go find th welcome mat
An' spread it out with cheer
Don't know yet jest who they are
Can't make 'em out from here
But, we got commpany comin', company comin'
We got company comin' up th' road
Their comin' up th mountin' side
Susie, don't you run an' hide
Company comin' up th road
VERSE 3
Well, run out t th hen house
An' wring a neck or two
We'll have chicken an' dumplins
An' some yellow gravy too
Grandpa, get your fiddle down
Cause they might want a tune
Everybody hurry cause
Them folks 'll be here soon
O, we've got company comin', company comin'
We've got company comin' up th' road
Well, land-o-goshens, I allow
They'll be here any minute now
There's companies comin' up th road
O, we've got company comin' up th road
