[Intro]
You see that mountain over there? Yeah?
Well, one of these days I'm going to climb that mountain
[Chorus]
Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river

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

Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart
Play something with lots of feeling
Because that's where music has to start
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music

The reason that I wrote the drum solo pa...
