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

[ guitar ]

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

[ fiddle ]

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

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

There's company comin' down the road

[ harmonica ]

Oh we got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road

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

There's company comin' down the road
