[00:00.47]One evening as the sun went down
[00:03.27]And the jungle fires were burning
[00:05.84]Down the track came a hobo hiking
[00:08.50]He said boys I'm not turning
[00:11.28]I'm heading for a land that's far away
[00:14.05]Besides that crystal fountains
[00:16.24]
[00:17.34]I'll see you all this coming fall
[00:20.10]And the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:22.38]
[00:23.99]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:26.53]There's a land that's fair and bright
[00:28.57]
[00:29.11]Handouts grow on bushes
[00:31.27]And you sleep out every night
[00:33.67]
[00:34.23]The boxcars all are empty
[00:36.99]The sun shines every day
[00:38.62]
[00:39.30]I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
[00:41.80]Where the sleet don't fall
[00:43.01]And the wind don't blow
[00:44.45]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:46.81]Wooh the birds and the bees
[00:50.47]In the cigarette trees
[00:52.01]By the soda water fountain
[00:54.75]By the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
[00:57.70]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:00.15]
[01:02.02]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:04.64]You never change your socks
[01:06.64]
[01:07.53]Little streams of alcohol
[01:09.80]Come trickling down the rocks
[01:11.92]
[01:13.28]The shacks all have to tip their hats
[01:15.96]The railroad bulls are blind
[01:17.81]
[01:18.36]There's a lake of stew and ginger ale too
[01:20.85]You can paddle all around it in a big canoe
[01:23.50]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:26.12]
[01:27.45]The birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
[01:30.13]By the soda water fountain
[01:33.02]By the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
[01:35.81]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:38.32]
[01:40.08]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:42.75]The cops have wooden legs
[01:44.92]
[01:45.53]The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
[01:47.98]And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
[01:50.26]
[01:50.94]Boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
[01:55.95]I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
[01:58.54]Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow
[02:01.16]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[02:03.91]
[02:05.51]Birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
[02:08.43]By the soda water fountain
[02:10.60]
[02:11.15]By the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
[02:13.88]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[02:16.35]
[02:19.39]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[02:21.95]The jails are made of tin
[02:24.64]You can slip right out again
[02:27.19]As soon as they put you in
[02:29.57]
[02:30.75]There ain't no short-handled shovels
[02:33.19]No axes saws nor picks
[02:35.27]
[02:35.81]I'm bound to stay where you sleep all day
[02:38.41]Where they hung the jerk
[02:39.62]That invented work
[02:40.84]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[02:43.95]All the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
[02:49.29]By the soda water fountain
[02:52.77]By the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
[02:56.19]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
