The Big Rock Candy Mountain

The Big Rock Candy Mountain Lyrics

One evening as the sun went down And the jungle fire was burning Down the track came a hobo hiking And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning"

"I'm headed for a land that's far away Besides the crystal fountains So come with me, we'll go and see The Big Rock Candy Mountains"

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains There's a land that's fair and bright Where the handouts grow on bushes And you sleep out every night

Where the boxcars all are empty And the sun shines every day And the birds and the bees And the cigarette trees

The lemonade springs Where the bluebird sings In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains All the cops have wooden legs And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit And the barns are full of hay Oh, I'm bound to go Where there ain't no snow

Where the rain don't fall The winds don't blow In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
