Warning to those who are offended by technical/medical sexual language; and children should definitely ask their parents to read this article first, before reading any further.
The deeper meaning, symbology, and keys to unlocking the song "She'll be coming 'round the mountain".
This ditty evolved out of the song "When the Chariot Comes" and I firmly believe it was rewritten to specifically have a sexual double entendre. Here follows my interpretation of the song:
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes,
Mountain equals penis or mounting (sexual riding). Coming equals cumming (orgasm).

I personally sang this song as a child and had no idea as to the deeper meaning of the verses. I would say it can continue to be a childrens' favourite, but I (and you now) will no longer listen to it in the same way. I would just say, continue to enjoy and have a little giggle . . . tee hee :)

ReplyDeleteBeing an African folk song I believe. That's how it's set up anyway. Few words repeating and telling a story. This would be my interpretation. Between a slave owners daughter and a slave.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be coming round the mountain when she comes.

She'll be wearing red pajamas when she comes
Yes loss of innocence.
She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes (Snore)
Grandma being a light sleeper she will not be able to sneak out again.
We'll be singing Hallelujah when she comes.
A new child.. Praying for no reprocussions.
We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes. (Yum yum)
Make the chicken last because hard times are ahead.
As with military cadences being changed and added to over the years, the yum, yeehah and so on added for school children.
Folk songs were made to tell a story and not always ment to be words of goodness.
Of corse it could be the opposite meaning too.
Slave girl and Plantation owner or son.
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes.
She will be coming around the house. Or Mansion Mountain.

As I said just an interpretation.
Yall are all wrong on this one. It has nothing to do with sex or murder. It is a folk song from 1910 that was code for Cole miners to know when to attend union meetings.
ReplyDeleteShe will be coming around the mountain,means she will ride in on a train.
She will be riding six white horses, means she will be coming to tell the truth.
We will all go out to meet her,depending,in what key the song was sung in determined I FB they met. G for good go ahead, d for damnation don't go.
We will that red rooster, meant we will stop the devils lies.
We will all have chicken and dumplings meant were going to get payed
