| [00:00.19] |
One evening as the sun went down |
| [00:02.20] |
And the jungle fires were burning |
| [00:06.16] |
Down the track came a hobo hiking |
| [00:07.06] |
And he said Boys I'm not turning |
| [00:07.75] |
I'm headed for a land that's far away |
| [00:08.74] |
Besides the crystal fountains |
| [00:10.57] |
So come with me we'll go and see |
| [00:11.35] |
The Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [00:13.57] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [00:19.15] |
There's a land that's fair and bright |
| [00:23.77] |
Where the handouts grow on bushes |
| [00:28.09] |
And you sleep out every night |
| [00:29.59] |
Where the boxcars all are empty |
| [01:01.81] |
And the sun shines every day |
| [01:23.23] |
And the birds and the bees |
| [01:33.94] |
And the cigarette trees |
| [01:34.45] |
The lemonade springs |
| [01:46.99] |
Where the bluebird sings |
| [02:45.76] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [02:55.30] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [02:56.02] |
All the cops have wooden legs |
| [02:56.80] |
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth |
| [02:57.67] |
And the hens lay soft boiled eggs |
| [03:11.56] |
The farmers' trees are full of fruit |
| [03:12.34] |
And the barns are full of hay |
| [03:20.74] |
Oh I'm bound to go |
| [03:21.13] |
Where there ain't no snow |
| [03:21.61] |
Where the rain don't fall |
| [03:22.51] |
The winds don't blow |
| [03:23.80] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [03:24.61] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [03:25.33] |
You never change your socks |
| [03:25.90] |
And the little streams of alcohol |
| [03:27.46] |
Come trickling down the rocks |
| [03:45.37] |
The brakemen have to tip their hats |
| [03:46.72] |
And the railway bulls are blind |
| [03:47.41] |
There's a lake of stew |
| [03:47.86] |
And of whiskey too |
| [03:48.28] |
You can paddle all around it |
| [03:48.88] |
In a big canoe |
| [03:50.11] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [03:52.72] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [03:53.44] |
The jails are made of tin |
| [03:54.64] |
And you can walk right out again |
| [03:55.90] |
As soon as you are in |
| [03:56.83] |
There ain't no short handled shovels |
| [03:57.85] |
No axes saws nor picks |
| [03:59.38] |
I'm bound to stay |
| [04:07.60] |
Where you sleep all day |
| [04:08.05] |
Where they hung the jerk |
| [04:08.53] |
That invented work |
| [04:09.61] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
| [04:12.31] |
I'll see you all this coming fall |
| [04:16.66] |
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains |
