There's Company Comin' up the road.
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 the welcome mat and spread it out with cheer
I don't know yet just who they are,
Can't make 'em out from here.

They're comin' up the mountain side
Susie don't you run and hide
There's Company Comin' up the road.
Well run out to the henhouse and wring a neck or two
We'll have chicken and dumplin's and some yaller gravy too
Grandpa git yer fiddle down, they might want a tune
Ev'rybody hurry 'cause them folks'll be here soon.
We got Company Comin' - Company Comin'
We got Company Comin' up the road
Land of Goshens, I allow
They'll be here any minute now
There's Company Comin' up the road.
Repeat last refrain.
