Bill Monroe - Y'all Come Lyrics

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, ever leave you
Sayin' you all come to see us by and by

Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Well, you all come to see us now and then
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Well, you all come to see us when you can

Kin folks a-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 hear them say

Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Well, you all come to see us now and then
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Well, you all come to see us when you can

Grandma's a-wishin'
They'd come to the kitchen
And help do the dishes right away
But they all start a-leavin'
But even though she's grievin'
You can still hear Grandma say

Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Well, you all come to see us now and then
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Why'all come! (Y'all come!)
Well, you all come to see us when you can
