Most of my family would often congregate at my Grandma Williams' house on Easter Sundays. She died several years ago, and now many of my family members have since moved to Tennessee. It was a combo of those two thoughts that brought this song together.
I posted my first attempt at a Bluegrass recording about 4 months ago and have tried to incorporate the suggestions I got to this one. I've struggled quite a while with It now and I'm still not satisfied. I haven't invested in a new vocal recorder yet, but I think there's still something else off in the sound. If you give this one a listen I'd be interested, as always, in your ideas and comments.
In case I don't post anything before Christmas, I hope all of you have a wonderful one.
Playing Mountain Music Sitting on the front porch with a guitar in my hand.
And cousin Jimmy’s got his banjo, playing like no one can.
Uncle Phil’s got his fiddle, and that makes our band complete.
Playing Mountain Music in the hills of Tennessee.
We’re playing mountain music, we’ll play it loud and long.
Playing mountain music music, singing good ol’ mountain songs.
Ain’t nothing quite as fun as playing ‘Fox on the Run’,
and playing mountain music right up ‘til the dawn.
The yougins’ are all runnin’ playing hide and seek.
Little sister’s got a boyfriend and he kissed her on the cheek.
Ah, the poor boy, he don’t know it, but she’s leading him on.
Me and Jimmy grab a guitar and we play another song.
We’re playing mountain music, we’ll play it loud and long.
Playing mountain music music, singing good ol’ mountain songs.
Ain’t nothing quite as fun as playing ‘Fox on the Run’,
and playing mountain music right up ‘til the dawn.
Grandma’s in the kitchen making lemonade,
and Grandpa’s in the front yard, just lazin’ in the shade.
And now Mama’s got Daddy dancing out in the yard,
doing do-si-do, and one more go, and swinging on his arm.
We’re playing mountain music, we’ll play it loud and long.
Playing mountain music music, singing good ol’ mountain songs.
Ain’t nothing quite as fun as playing ‘Fox on the Run’,
and playing mountain music right up ‘til the dawn.
When the sun goes down we’ll gather round and play some gospel songs.
Get the family all together, and we’ll all sing along.
And then Daddy reads the bible just before we go to bed
with that mountain music still, just ringing in our heads.
We’re playing mountain music, we’ll play it loud and long.
Playing mountain music, singing good ol’ mountain songs.
Ain’t nothing quite as fun as playing ‘Fox on the Run’,
and playing mountain music right up ‘til the dawn.
No there ain’t nothing quite as fun as playing ‘Fox on the Run”
and playing mountain music right up ‘till the dawn.
Playing mountain music right up ‘till the dawn.
