| Song 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 headin' for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain, there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain, all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay hard 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 Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain, 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 Mountain
I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountain (Stavro Arrgolus) |
