She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain . . . .

. . . when she comes! 

Who knew it was a railroad song?  A building the railroad song!  "She" is the supply train bringing food and other "refreshment".  Can't beat that with a stick!

This morning, we sang a couple of railroad songs.  Folk Songs.  Real folk songs with forgotten originals and different versions. 

This is what I learned (again) today.  Don't count on remembering the words to "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" just because I've been singing longer than I can remember.  Put me in front of a crowd (even a crowd of 18 little kids) and sure as the world, I will forget the every other line of a song.  Good thing for little boys who know the words!
