COMPLETE
LYRICS:
Intro:
One
evening as the sun went down,
And the
jungle fire was burning,
Down the
track came a hobo hikin',
And he
said, "Boys, I'm not turning.
I'm
headed for a land that's far away,
Beside
the crystal fountains,
So come
with me, we'll go and see,
The Big
Rock Candy Mountains.
Verses:
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,
On 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,
And the
wind don't blow,
In the
Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the
Big Rock Candy Mountains,
You
never change your socks,
And the
little streams of alcohol,
Come
a'trickling down the rocks,
The
brakemen have to tip their hats,
And the
railroad bulls are blind,
There's
a lake of stew,
And of
whiskey too,
You can
paddle all around 'em
In a big
canoe,
In the
Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the
Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The
jails are made of tin,
And you
can walk right out again,
As soon
as you are in.
There's
no short-handle shovels,
No axes,
saws, or picks,
I'm
a'goin' to stay,
Where
you sleep all day,
Where
they hung the jerk,
Who
invented work,
In the
Big Rock Candy Mountains.
