But Why is She Coming ‘Round the Mountain?

As children we sang about an unknown she
Never really questioning who she was
Or why should she come around a mountain
Especially since we had no mountain at all

And now about those six white horses, huh:
Did she steal them? Did they pull her stagecoach?
I didn’t want to go out and meet her
Especially if she was wearing pajamas

Childhood is a series of mysteries
The teacher took my Sergeant Preston pen
