8 Innocent Songs With Incredibly Disturbing Histories

7. She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain Is About The Apocalypse

She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes...and when she does, she's bringing the apocalypse. That's basically what this famous, catchy tune is actually saying. She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain is based on the Christian song When The Chariot Comes, featuring the same structure and tune. The song refers to the second coming of Jesus Christ, also known as the rapture, also know as the death of all non-believers. The €œshe€ in question refers to the chariot that Christ is driving as he and his angels descend from Heaven. When The Chariot Comes, the original source, contains some extra lyrics that provide context, including €œO, who will drive the chariot when she comes?€ and €œKing Jesus, he'll be driver when she comes€.
