Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river

To a Cajun hideaway

Drift away like Tom Sawyer

Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Daze dreamin' again


Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play

Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway


Swim across the river
Just to prove that I'm a man
Spend the day bein' lazy

Just bein' nature's friend

Climb a long tall hick'ry

Bend it over, "skinnin' cats."
Playin' baseball with chert rocks
Usin' sawmill slabs for bats


Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart

Play something with lots of feelin'
'Cause that's where music has to start


Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river

To a Cajun hideaway, hey hey

Oh play me mountain music

Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play

Yeehaw
