Shout Mountain Music

I am enthusiastic and ready to express myself through singing, jumping, and shouting.

I intend to play my music so loudly that it metaphorically blows the windows out.

I plan to play my fiddle loudly throughout the entire night.

I am determined to maintain my unique musical style and not conform to external influences.

Even in the presence of challenges represented by "ole' Smokey," I won't change my musical approach.

My intention is to celebrate and perform mountain music energetically all night long.

The chorus emphasizes the commitment to playing mountain music passionately and without compromise throughout the night.

All night long (all night long)

I'll be high up on the mountain when daylight comes

And I ain't gonna change my sound

When ole' Smokey comes around

I'm gon' shout mountain music all night long

Enthusiastically describing various dance moves and activities associated with mountain music.

Rattle them bones and shout and sing

Shoutin' mountain music all night long

All night long (all night long)

I'll be high up on the mountain when daylight comes

And I ain't gonna change my sound

When ole' Smokey comes around

I'm gon' shout mountain music all night long

Recalling initial resistance to the unconventional fiddle and banjo music when entering a new town.

Overcoming resistance, asserting the importance of the fiddle and banjo, and encouraging a liberating act of burning down barriers.

"Boy, that fiddle and the banjo don't belong"

But I resined up my bow

I said, "boys, let it go"

So take a match and burn it down

Encouraging lively dancing with a partner.

Reiteration of the commitment to mountain music, including a reference to Nashville-town.

All night long (all night long)

I'll be high up on the mountain when daylight comes

And I ain't gonna change my sound

Final affirmation of the commitment to shout mountain music all night long even upon reaching Nashville-town.

All night long (all night long)

I'll be high up on the mountain when daylight comes

And I ain't gonna change my sound

When I get to Nashville-town

I'm gon' shout my mountain music all night long
