"She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" is a traditional American folksong typically sung by children. It was sung during the Rocky Mountain Holiday Muppet special. It has also appeared on a number of Sesame Street albums and videos, as well as the Sesame Street Live show 1-2-3 Imagine.
Rocky Mountain Holiday
During a flashback to a trip when Miss Piggy arrived in the mountains with an orchestra and an entourage, the Muppets sing "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain". The song also appears on the soundtrack for the special.
Two years later, Denver and Kermit sang the song together at the American Embassy in Russia during Denver's 1985 concert tour.
