"Mountain Music" lyrics
(originally by Randy Owen)
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'
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!
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'
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!
