Lyrics
GET THE GUITAR HUMMIN', TIGHTEN UP THE BOW; TUNE UP THE OL' MANDO, PICK THE OL' BANJO. TIME TO HAVE A PARTY, EMPTY OUT THE STILL; FILL THE AIR WITH MUSIC, BLUEGRASS IN THE HILLS. BEEN A LONG AND STRESSFUL WEEK, BOSS BEEN IN MY FACE; WAITIN' FOR THE WEEKEND, BACK AT THE HOME PLACE. NEIGHBORS WILL BE COMIN' 'ROUND, GONNA HAVE SOME FUN; PLAYING ALL THE OLD SONGS, LET THE MUSIC RUN. (HORUS)HOME PLACE WHERE I WANT TO BE, BLUEGRASS MOUNTAIN, TENNESEE. (V.2) WARMIN'UP WITH ROCKY TOP, THEN AN OLD TIMEY SONG,PLAY A BIT OF GOSPEL, WE ALL SING ALONG. FIDDLE PLAYS THE MELODY, BANJO PLAYS THE FILLS; FRONT PORCH IS A ROCKIN' TO BLUEGRASS IN THE HILLS.(CHORUS) (V.3) EVERYBODY'S DAANCIN', CUTTIN' UP A RUG; HOMER KEEPIN' RHYTHEM, ON THE WHISKEY JUG. GRANDPA'S GOT HIS CLOGGERS ON, GETTIN IN THE MIX; KEEP UP WITH THE YOUNGSTERS, SPRY AT EIGHTY-SIX.(V.4) PICK THAT FIDDLE UP MY FRIEND, ROSIN UP THE BOW; GET THE MANDOLIN IN TUNE, WORK THAT OLD BANJO. MY GUITAR IS RARIN' TO RUN, CHOMPIN' AT THE BIT; WE'LL MAKE MUSIC ALL DAY LONG, NEVER WANT TO QUIT. (CHO)
