Chorus:

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

Days dreamin' again



(Repeat Chorus)



Swim across the river

Just to prove 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 stabs for bats



Bridge:

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



(Repeat Chorus)



Then I'll float on down the river

To a Cajun hideaway, hey hey



Tag:

Oh play me mountain music

Oh play me mountain music

Oh play me mountain music

Oh play me mountain music
