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
Days dreamin' again

(Repeat Chorus)

Swim across the river
Just to prove 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 stabs 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

(Repeat Chorus)

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
