Lyric
Oh, play me some mountain musicLike grandma and grandpa used to playThen I’ll float on down the riverTo a Cajun hideawayDrift away like Tom SawyerRide a raft with ol’ Huck FinnTake a nap like Rip Van WinkleDaze dreamin’ againOh, play me some mountain musicLike grandma and grandpa used to playThen I’ll float on down the riverTo a Cajun hideawaySwim across the riverJust to prove that I’m a manSpend the day bein’ lazyJust bein’ nature’s friendClimb a long tall hick’ryBend it over, skinnin’ catsPlayin’ baseball with chert rocksUsin’ sawmill slabs for batsPlay some back-home, come-on musicThat comes from the heartPlay somethin’ with lots of feelin’‘Cause that’s where music has to startOh, play me some mountain musicLike grandma and grandpa used to playThen I’ll float on down the riverTo a Cajun hideaway, hey, hey!Oh, play me mountain musicOh, play me mountain musicOh, play me mountain musicOh, play (yee-haw!)
