When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They’ll all come see you and never never leave you
Sayin’ ”Y’all come see us by and by”
Y’all come (Y’all come) y’all come (Y’all come)
Oh, y’all come see us when you can
Y’all come (Y’all come) y’all come (Y’all come)
Oh, y’all come and see us now and then

Kin folks are comin’, they’re comin’ by the dozen
Eatin’ everything from soup to hay
And right after dinner, they ain’t lookin’ any thinner
And here’s what you hear them say

Y’all come (Y’all come) y’all come (Y’all come)
Oh, y’all come see us when you can
Y’all come (Y’all come) y’all come (Y’all come)
Oh, y’all come and see us now and then

Oh, grandma’s a-wishin’, they’d come to the kitchen
And help do the dishes right away
But they all start leavin’, even though she’s breathin’
You can still hear grandma say
