One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were 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 fountain, so.
Come with me we’ll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain There’s a land that’s fair and bright the.
Handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night Where the.
Boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day, on the.
Birds and the bees the cigarette trees the lemonade springs where the.
Bluebird sings in The Big Rock Candy Mountain

In The Big Rock Candy Mountain all the cops have wooden legs and the.
Bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs the.
Garmer’s 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 there ain’t no fall and the.
Winds don’t blow in The Big Rock Candy Mountain

In The Big Rock Candy Mountain you never change your socks and the.
Little streams of alcohol come a trickling down the rocks the.

Lake of stew and of wiskey too you can paddle all around them in a.
Big canoe in The Big Rock Candy Mountain.

In The Big Rock Candy Mountain the jails are made of tin and.
You can walk right out again as soon as you are in there.
Ain’t no short handle shovels no axes saws or picks I’m.
Gonna stay where you sleep all day where they.
Hung the jerk that invented work in the.
Big Rock Candy Mountain.

I’ll see you all this commin fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
