Company's Comin'

(album: Y'all Come - 1963)

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 coming company coming we got company coming up the road
They're down the road about a mile they'll be here in a little while
There's company coming 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 coming company coming we got company coming up the road
They're coming up the mountain side Susie don't you run and hide
There's company coming 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 coming company coming we got company coming up the road
Let them all shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now
There's company coming down the road

Oh, we got company coming company coming we got company coming up the road
Let them all shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now
There's company coming down the road
