One eve-ning as the sun went down And the jung-le fires were bur-ning, Down the track came a ho-bo hi-king, And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning I'm hea-ded for a land that's far a-way Be-sides the crys-tal fount's So come with me, we'll go and see The Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains, There's a land that's fair and bright, Where the hand-outs grow on bush-es And you sleep out eve-ry night. Where the box-cars all are emp-ty And the sun shines eve-ry day And the birds and the bees And the ci-ga-rette trees The le-mo-nade springs Where the blue-bird sings In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains. In the I'll see you all this co-ming fall In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains All the cops have woo-den legs And the bull-dogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs The farmers' 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 winds don't blow In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains. In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains You never change your socks And the little streams of al-cohol Come trick-ling down the rocks The brake-men have to tip their+hats And the rail-way bulls are blind There's a lake of stew And of whis- key too You can paddle all around it In a big canoe In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains, The jails are made of tin. And you can walk right out a-gain, As soon as you are in. There ain't no short-handled sho-vels, No a-xes, saws nor picks, I am gon-na' stay Where you sleep all day, Where they hung the jerk That in-ven-ted work In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tains.
