| Oh mama I’m excited I’m almost out of breath
|
| What I saw the light that made me run myself to death
|
| I was on the mountain side when I looked down below
|
| And glory be I thought I’d better come and let you know
|
| We got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road
|
| They’re down the road about a mile they’ll be here in a little while
|
| There’s company comin' up the road
|
| Well Granny change your apron and Willie shine your shoes
|
| Sally put your new dress on we got no time to lose
|
| I’ll go find a welcome mat and spread it out with cheer
|
| I don’t know yet just who they are can’t pick 'em out from here
|
| But we got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road
|
| They’re comin' up the mountain side Susie don’t you run and hide
|
| There’s company comin' up the road
|
| We’ll run out to the henhouse and wring a neck or two
|
| We’ll have chicken and dumplings and some yellow gravy too
|
| Grandpa get your fiddle down they might want a tune
|
| Everybody hurry cause them folks will be here soon
|
| We got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road
|

|
| There’s company comin' down the road
|

|
| Let them all shout out aloud they’ll be here in a minute now
|
