 (a capella until you reach "to a Cajun.."
 Oh,  play me some mountain  music
 like  grandma and grandpa used to play
 Then I'll  float on down the riv-er
 to a Ca-jun  hidea-way.
 Drift away like Tom  Sawyer
 Ride a raft  with ol' Huck  Finn
 Take a nap  like Rip Van Winkle,
 daze  dreamin' -gain.
 -same chords as chorus one for the first 3 lines. Then:
 to a Ca-jun  hidea-way.
 (guitar solo)
 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
 v3
 Climb a long tall hick'ry
 Bend it over, skinnin' cats
 Playin' baseball with chert rocks
 Usin' sawmill slabs for bats
 (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 feel-in'
 '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.
 Enjoy!
