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, daze dreamin' again

Chorus

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

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

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

Tag:
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
