One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking  
Said "boys I'm not turning"     
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountain

So come with me we'll go and 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
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
All 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 have rubber teeth                              
And the hens lay soft boiled eggs             
And 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
The wind don't blow   
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains  
 
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
Where you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol                           
Come a trickling down the rocks                                      
And the brake men have to tip their hats 
And the railway 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 Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains        
All the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again                
Just as soon as you are in
Well there ain't no short handed shovels
No axes, saws or picks 
Well I'm a gonna stay      
Where you sleep all day       
Where they hung the Turk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain          
Well I'll see ya all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains
