Get your guitar and your bass and you better get a banjo
Get your fiddle, mandolin get ready to go
We're gonna have a big time singing songs and telling talles
Making music on the old crooked trail
Playing music on the old crooked trail
From Clintwood to Floyd and back again
Let the mountain music ring thru the hills and thru the dales
Playing music on the old crooked trail
Get your autoharp, jewsharp, dulcimer, spoons and a washboard
Get your friends and anybody who wants to go
You'll forget about your telephone, forget about your mail
Making music on the old crooked trail
Playing music on the old crooked trail
From Clintwood to Floyd and back again
Let the mountain music ring thru the hills and thru the dales
Playing music on the old crooked trail
Thru the heart of Shenandoah, thru the mountains
You will love to hear the old time music ring
With the young and old in harmony and each song tells a tale
Make some music on the old crooked trail
Playing music on the old crooked trail
From Clintwood to Floyd and back again
Let the mountain music ring thru the hills and thru the dales
Playing music on the old crooked trail
Playing music on the old crooked trail
From Clintwood to Floyd and back again
Let the mountain music ring thru the hills and thru the dales
Playing music on the old crooked trail
Let the mountain music ring thru the hills and thru the dales
Playing music on the old crooked trail
