This version is likely the one you’re interested in, as it’s a live performance and more recent. Here’s what we can glean:
- It was most likely a cover song performed by Alabama with guest artists during their appearance at The Ryman Auditorium, a historic venue in Nashville, Tennessee.
- Without additional details about the specific performance or guest artists, it’s difficult to pinpoint the original artist or the exact rendition they performed.
Would you like to explore either of these possibilities further?

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play Then I’ll float on down the river To a Cajun hideawayDrift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol’ Huck Finn Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle Daze dreamin’ againOh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play Then I’ll float on down the river To a Cajun hideawaySwim across the river
Just to prove that I’m a man Spend the day bein’ lazy Just bein’ nature’s friendClimb a long tall hick’ry
Bend it over, skinnin’ cats Playin’ baseball with chert rocks Usin’ sawmill slabs for batsPlay some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart Play somethin’ with lots of feelin’ ‘Cause that’s where music has to startOh, 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!Oh, play me mountain music
Oh, play me mountain music Oh, play me mountain music Oh, play (yee-haw!)
