The Big Rock Candy Mountain Lyrics

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin for a land that's far away beside that crystal fountain
I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains it's a land that's fair and bright
The handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
The boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go where their aint no snow, where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow in the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Oh the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees
By the soda water fountain
By the lemonade springs when the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
Little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The sharks all have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and ginger ale too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Oh the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees
By the soda water fountain
By the lemonade springs when the bluebird sings Pete Seeger - The Big Rock Candy Mountain - http://motolyrics.com/pete-seeger/the-big-rock-candy-mountain-lyrics.html
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go where their aint no snow, where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Oh the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees
By the soda water fountain
By the lemonade springs when the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
You can slip right out again as soon as they put you in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws nor picks
I'm bound to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Oh the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees
By the soda water fountain
By the lemonade springs when the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
