[Spoken:] “You see that mountain over there? Yeah? Well, one of these days I’m gonna climb that mountain”.
[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:] 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.
[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.
[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, hey hey.
Oh play me mountain music. Oh play me mountain music. Oh play me mountain music. Oh play me mountain music.
