Oh, play me some mountain music,

Then I'll float on down the river

Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle, daze dreamin' again.

Oh, play me some mountain music,
Requesting more music that resembles the tunes from their grandparents' era.

Then I'll float on down the river
Planning another river journey following the music, to the same hideaway.
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.
Intending to spend a lazy day, harmonizing with nature.
Climb a long tall hick'ry. Bend it over, skinnin' cats.
Describing a playful act of bending a tall hickory tree and engaging in a childhood game.
Playin' baseball with chert rocks, usin' sawmill slabs for bats.
Recalling a simple, rustic way of playing baseball with improvised equipment.
Play some back-home, come-on music

That comes from the heart.
Seeking authentic, heartfelt music.
Play something with lots of feelin',
Asking for music filled with emotions and depth.
'Cause that's where music has to start.
