When you live in the country everybody is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you and never never leave you
Saying why'all come to see us by and by
Why'all come why'all come oh you all come to see us when you can
Why'all come why'all come oh you all come to see us now and then

The kinfolks're comin' they're comin' by the dozen
Eatin' everything from soup to hay
And right after dinner they ain't looking any thinner
And here's what you'll hear them say
Why'all come why'all come...

Now grandma's a wishing they'd come out to kitchen
And help her do the dishes right away
But they all start leavin' even though she's a grievin'
You can still hear grandma say
Why'all come why'all come...
(You all come to see us now and then)
