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 Beside the Crystal Fountain
 So come with me and we'll go 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
 The boxcars all are empty And the sun shines every day
 On the birds and the bees And the cigarette trees
 And 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 got rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
 The farmer'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 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 have to change your socks
 And the little streams of alcohol Come tricklin' down the rocks
 The brake men all have to tip their hat And the railroad bulls are blind
 There's a lake of stew and a whiskey too You can paddle all around them in a big canoe
 In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
 In the Big Rock Candy Mountains All the jails are empty
 You can walk right out again As soon as you are in
 Ain't no short-handled shovels No axes, saws, or picks
 I'm going to stay where you sleep all day Where they hung the jerk that invented work
 I'll see you all this coming fall In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
