[C]
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning, down the track came a hobo
hiking and he said, boys, I'm not turning.
I'm headed for a land that's far away [Dm] beside the [G] crystal fountain.
So come with me, we'll go and see the big rock [C] candy mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] there's a land [C] that's fair and bright, [F] where the handouts
[C] grow on bushes and you sleep out [G] every night.
Where the [C] boxcars all are empty [F] and the sun shines [C] every day [F] on the birds and the bees
and the cigarette trees, the lemonade [G] springs where the bluebird sings in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [F] all the cops have [C] wooden legs [F] and the bulldogs [C] all have
rubber teeth and the hens lay soft [G] boiled eggs.
[C] The farmer's trees are full of fruit [F] and the barns are full [C] of hay.
Oh, [F] I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow, where the rain don't [D] fall, the wind don't
[G] blow in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, [Am] you never change [C] your socks [F] and the little streams [C] of
alcohol come a-trickling [D] down the rocks.
[C] The brakemen have to tip their hats [Am] and the railroad bulls [C] are blind.
There's a lake and stew and a whiskey too.
You can paddle all around them in a [G] big canoe in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
In the big rock candy mountains, the jails [C] are made of tin [F] and you can [C] walk right out
again as soon as you [G] are in.
[C] There ain't no short-handled shovels, no axes, saws or picks.
I'm a-going to stay where you sleep all day, where they hung the Turk that invented [G] work
in the big rock candy [C] mountains.
[F] [C] [F] [C]
I'll see you all this coming [G] fall in the big rock candy mountains.
