Climb a long tall hickory, bend it over, skinnin' cats
Swim across the river, just to prove that I'm a man
Playin' baseball with chert rocks, using sawmill slabs for bats
Then I'll float on down the river
Oh, play me some mountain music
Spend the day bein' lazy, just bein' nature's friend
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
To a Cajun hideaway, hey hey
Drift away like Tom Sawyer
That comes from the heart
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me some mountain music
Daze dreamin' again
To a Cajun hideaway
Play something with lots of feelin'
Play some back-home, come-on music
Then I'll float on down the river
Oh, play me mountain music
'Cause that's where music has to start
Take a nap like rip van winkle
Then I'll float on down the river
Oh, play me mountain music
To a Cajun hideaway
Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn
