This gives you the interpretation of the song.
While it is not entirely clear who the "she" in the song refers to, there are various plausible interpretations. One interpretation suggests that "she" is the train that will be coming through the tracks that are being laid out by workers. Another possible interpretation suggests that "she" refers to union organizer Mary Harris "Mother" Jones going to promote formation of labor unions in the Appalachian coal mining camps. White horses are a symbol of the mythological stature of Mother Jones and the rest of the song is related to the celebration which would ensue after her arrival.
Currently the song is usually sung in collections of children's music with slightly different lyrics. The song has been recorded by musicians ranging from Pete Seeger to Barney the Dinosaur.
Harking back to the original lyrics of When the Chariot Comes the song is sometimes referenced in relation to the end of the world. Most notably in The Illuminatus! Trilogy and the comic book Promethea.

She fell off the horse and broke her neck, so she is now dead. Why do you look like me, are we related.
