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 ev'ry night

Where the boxcars are all empty

And the sun shines ev'ry day

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 Mountains.



Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the peppermint trees

'Round the soda water fountains

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains



In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

You never change your socks

And little streams of lemonade

Come a-tricklin' down the rocks

The hobos there are friendly

And their fires all burn bright

There's a lake of stew and soda, too

You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.



Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the peppermint trees

'Round the soda water fountains

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
