MOUNTAIN MUSIC
(Randy Owen)

Alabama 1982


Spoken:

Yuh see dat mountain ova dere, yeah
One of these days, I'm goin' climb dat mountain.

Alabama sings:

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.

Drift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Days dreamin' again.

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.

(bridge)

Swim across the river
Just to prove that I'm a man
Spend the day bein' lazy
Just bein' nature's friend.

Climb a long tall hickory
Bend it over 'skinnin' cats'
Playin' baseball with chert rocks
Usin' sawmill slabs for bats.

Play some back-home come-on music
That comes from the heart
Play somethin' with lots of feelin'
'Cause that's where music has to start.

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 hey…..hey

(bridge)

Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play……..yeah yeah…….

Yee-hah……
