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 somethin' 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 (yee-haw!)
