[00:03.24]Roger Whittaker - Big rock candy mountain
[00:04.05]
[00:06.64]One evening as the sun went down
[00:09.44]And the jungle fires were burning,
[00:12.16]Down the track came a hobo hiking,
[00:14.88]And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
[00:17.63]I'm headed for a land that's far away
[00:20.75]Besides the crystal fountains
[00:23.14]So come with me, we'll go and see
[00:26.21]The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[00:27.59]
[00:28.47]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
[00:31.11]There's a land that's fair and bright,
[00:33.62]Where the handouts grow on bushes
[00:36.14]And you sleep out every night.
[00:38.93]Where the boxcars all are empty
[00:41.41]And the sun shines every day
[00:44.05]And the birds and the bees
[00:45.33]And the cigarette trees
[00:46.53]The lemonade springs
[00:47.95]Where the bluebird sings
[00:49.17]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[00:52.09]
[00:53.22]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[00:55.61]All the cops have wooden legs
[00:58.12]And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
[01:00.66]And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
[01:03.28]The farmers' trees are full of fruit
[01:05.97]And the barns are full of hay
[01:08.68]Oh I'm bound to go
[01:09.61]Where there ain't no snow
[01:10.89]Where the rain don't fall
[01:12.16]The winds don't blow
[01:13.71]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[01:15.59]
[01:17.43]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[01:19.78]You never change your socks
[01:22.20]And the little streams of alcohol
[01:24.75]Come trickling down the rocks
[01:27.04]The brakemen have to tip their hats
[01:30.20]And the railway bulls are blind
[01:32.10]There's a lake of stew
[01:33.50]And of whiskey too
[01:34.50]You can paddle all around it
[01:36.16]In a big canoe
[01:37.05]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[01:38.77]
[01:40.62]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
[01:43.03]The jails are made of tin.
[01:45.42]And you can walk right out again,
[01:47.94]As soon as you are in.
[01:50.23]There ain't no short-handled shovels,
[01:52.82]No axes, saws nor picks,
[01:55.10]I'm bound to stay
[01:56.30]Where you sleep all day,
[01:57.68]Where they hung the jerk
[01:58.82]That invented work
[01:59.97]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
