Mountain Music
Alabama
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. Verse 1: Drift away like Tom Sawyer Ride a raft with ol’ Huck Finn Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle daze dreamin’ a-gain. Chorus 2--same chords as chorus one for the first 3 lines. Then: to a Ca-jun hidea-way. (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 v3 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 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.
