When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor on this one thing you can rely

They'll all come to see you and never never leave you

Saying y'all come to see us by and by

Y'all come y'all come oh you all come to see us when you can

Y'all come y'all come oh you all come to see us now and then

[ steel ]

The kinfolks're comin'  they're comin' by the dozen

Eatin' everything from soup to hay

And right after dinner they ain't looking any thinner

And here's what you'll hear them say

Y'all come y'all come...

[ el.banjo ]

Now grandma's a wishing they'd come out to kitchen

And help her do the dishes right away

But they all start leavin' even though she's a grievin' you can still hear grandma say

Y'all come y'all come...

(You all come to see us now and then)
