Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideawayDrift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Daze dreamin' againOh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideawaySwim across the river
Just to prove that I'm a man
Spend the day bein' lazy
Just bein' nature's friendClimb a long tall hickery
Bend it over, "Skinnin' cats"
Playin' baseball with chert rocks
Usin' sawmill slabs for batsPlay some back-home
Come-on music that comes from the heart
Play something with lots of feelin'
'Cause that's where music has to startOh, 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 heyOh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play, yeah yeah
