Well.... lets start at the very beginning... its a very good place to start... ( sheesh you got me at it now)....
Was she actually coming round the mountain.... lets look at the evidence...
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes...
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes...
She'll be coming round the mountain...
coming round the mountain
coming round the mountain
when she comes....
Has she come?... if she has ... then she will be coming round the mountain...
If she hasn't come... where is she ... will she decide not to come... then she wont have to visit the mountain and take herself off to the shops instead... (maybe to buy the red PJ's for later use if she decides at some point to come)...
And if then she decides to come and and go round the mountain in her red PJ's... will she be singing ..... I I yippee yippee I?? riding on her white horses and then sleeping at Grandma's? and then we get into another problem... if she is in red PJ's and sleeping at Grandma's ... is she really Red Riding hood??? .... hmmm???
The plot thickens!..

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.

Kevin Garnett would not be available for the Playoffs, according to my spy who looks like the Superman. But even without KG, the Superman Howard could not do it alone against the Celtics, and this would be an exciting fight. But with KG back, it will be a walk in the park. Anyway, I am still for Boston, with or without KG, but I hope he could come back soon to help out his team. Right now, the Celtics are gasping for breath, they are so tired and need a rest. Go Boston, Go, Go!

'She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain' is an American folk song, written sometime at the end of the last century. It was mainly sung by those working on the railroad so probably refers to a train.

... and she is wearing her best pink pyyjamas and you are taking the mickey out of her. She's come all that way, round the mountain, just to see you, wearing her best jim jams and all you can do is ask WHY?
Do you not acknowledge the effort she's gone to just to meet up with you, you heartless beast. Have you every tried mountain-hiking in your pyjamas, in the snow and ice, just to be with your beloved.
You rotter, you cad, you bounder. How could you be so CRUEL to her?
*goes away and sobs*

Answering is pointless because you are deleting the questions after getting an answer. My answer is I don't know why.
