You 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 ole Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Daze dreaming again

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
Bend it over, skinning cats
Playing baseball with chert rocks
Using sawmill slabs 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

Hey, hey

Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play, ay ay
