See that mountain over there? Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain....
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 old Huck Finn Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle (He's dreaming 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 being lazy Just being Nature's friend Climb a long, tall hickory Bending over, skinning cats Playing baseball with shirred rocks Using sawmill slats for bats Play some back-home, come-on music That comes from the heart Play something with lots of feeling '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, ay, ay.... Oh, play me mountain music Oh, play me mountain music Oh, play me mountain music Oh, play-ay-ay Yee-hah
