Harry McClintock - Big Rock Candy Mountain lyrics

rate me

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains<br />

There's a land that's fair and bright<br />

Where the handouts grow on bushes<br />

And you sleep out ev'ry night<br />

Where the boxcars are all empty<br />

And the sun shines ev'ry day<br />

Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow<br />

Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow<br />

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.<br />

<br />

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the peppermint trees<br />

'Round the soda water fountains<br />

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings<br />

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains<br />

<br />

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains<br />

You never change your socks<br />

And little streams of lemonade<br />

Come a-tricklin' down the rocks<br />

The hobos there are friendly<br />

And their fires all burn bright<br />

There's a lake of stew ...and soda, too<br />

You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe<br />

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.<br />

<br />

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the peppermint trees<br />

'Round the soda water fountains<br />

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings<br />

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
