She'll be Coming Round the Mountain

This is a traditional American song and, as with many songs passed down via the vocal tradition, you'll hear different versions of it. This is Luchia's favorite version. When I teach this song, I like to do lots of *rhythm* imitation first, in which I clap and the children copy. That's because it's quite difficult for everyone to get the rhythms of the song exactly right for these particular words:

  • round the mountain
  • six white horses
  • pink pyjamas

*Reminder - the rhythm of a song is the element of it that you could clap*

  • She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
  • She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
  • She'll be coming round the mountain
  • Coming round the mountain when she comes
  • Coming round the mountain when she comes
  • __
  • She'll be driving six white horses when she comes
  • ... and so on
  • __
  • She'll be wearing pink pyjamas when she comes
  • ... and so on
