A
One evening as the sun went down
E A
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking
E A
Said "boys I'm not turning
D A D A
I'm headed for a land that's far away
D A E
Beside the crystal fountain
A
So come with me we'll go and see
E A
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
D A
There's a land that's fair and bright
D A
Where the handouts grow on bushes
E
And you sleep out every night
A
Where the boxcars all are empty
D A
And the sun shines every day
D A
All the birds and the bees
D A
And the cigarette trees
D A
And the lemonade springs
D A
Where the bluebird sings
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
D A
All the cops have wooden legs
D A
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
E
And the hens lay soft boiled eggs
A
And the farmer's trees are full of fruit
D A
And the barns are full of hay
D A
Oh I'm bound to go
D A
Where there ain't no snow
D A
Where the rain don't fall
D A
The wind don't blow
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
D A
Where you never change your socks
D A
And the little streams of alcohol
E
Come a trickling down the rocks
A
And the brake men have to tip their hats
D A
And the railway bulls are blind
D A
There's a lake of stew
D A
And of whiskey too
D A
You can paddle all around 'em
D A
In a big canoe
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
D A
All the jails are made of tin
D A
And you can walk right out again
E
Just as soon as you are in
A
Well there ain't no short handed shovels
D A
No axes, saws or picks
D A
Well I'm a gonna stay
D A
Where you sleep all day
D A
Where they hung the Turk
D A
That invented work
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Instrumental]
A D A
[Outro]
D A D A
Well I'll see ya all this coming Fall
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"
