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
