CFC One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning CFC Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning CFC I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains CFC So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains
CFC In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright CFC Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night CFC Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day FCFC On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees FCFC Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings GC In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
