Intro:
Chorus 1:
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.
Verse 1:
Drift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle,
daze dreamin' again.
Chorus
+
to a Cajun hideaway.
(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 feelin'
'cause that's where music has to start.
Chorus 2
(on last line "...a cajun hideaway aay-aay-aaaiiiaay"
then a drum solo ensues and the tempo increases -
go back to the first chorus for the ending,
but play all of the chords)
