[Intro]       /            

[Chorus 1] (a capella until you reach "to a Cajun.."
Oh, [] play me some mountain [] music
like [] grandma and grandpa used to play []
Then I'll [] float on down the riv-[]er
to a Ca-[]jun hidea-[]way.

[Verse 1]
[] Drift away like Tom [] Sawyer
Ride a raft[] with ol' Huck [] Finn
Take a nap[] like Rip Van Winkle,
daze [] dreamin' -[]gain.

[Chorus 2]
Oh, [] play me some mountain [] music
like [] grandma and grandpa used to play []
Then I'll [] float on down the riv-[]er
to a Ca-[]jun hidea-[]way.

(guitar solo)

[Verse 2] (same chords as 1)
Swim across the river
Just to prove that I'm a man
Spend the day bein' lazy
Just bein' nature's friend

[Verse 3]
Climb a long tall hick'ry
Bend it over, skinnin' cats
Playin' baseball with chert rocks
Usin' sawmill slabs for bats

[Bridge] (also a capella, like first chorus, until you reach "'cause that's where..")
Play some [] back-home come-on [] music
that [] comes from the heart []
Play [] something with lots of feel-[]in'
'cause that's where [] music has to [] start.

[Chorus 2]
Oh, [] play me some mountain [] music
like [] grandma and grandpa used to play []
Then I'll [] float on down the riv-[]er
to a Ca-[]jun hidea-[]way.

Then a drum solo
ensues and the tempo increases--go back to the first chorus for the ending,
but play all of the chords.
