Oh mama, I'm excited I'm almost out of breath
And 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.

That we got company comin', yeah, there's 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.

Well granny, change your apron and Willie shine your shoes
Sally put your new dress on we got no time to lose
Gotta find that 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', yeah, there's 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.

Well, we'll run out to the henhouse and we'll wring a neck or two
We'll have chicken and dumplings and some yellow gravy too
Grandpa get that fiddle down they might want a tune
Everybody hurry up cause them folks will be here soon.

Yeah, we got company comin', yeah, there's company comin'
We got company comin' up the road
Well, let them folks shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now
There's company comin' up the road road road road...
