[ar:] [ti:Big Rock Candy Mountain] [00:06.04]One evening as the sun went down [00:08.90]And the jungle fires were burning, [00:11.86]Down the track came a hobo hiking, [00:14.24]And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning [00:16.11]I'm headed for a land that's far away [00:19.61]Besides the crystal fountains [00:21.93]So come with me, we'll go and see [00:25.95]The Big Rock Candy Mountains [00:27.34]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, [00:29.80]There's a land that's fair and bright, [00:33.52]Where the handouts grow on bushes [00:35.99]And you sleep out every night. [00:38.38]Where the boxcars all are empty [00:40.41]And the sun shines every day [00:42.65]And the birds and the bees [00:45.56]And the cigarette trees [00:46.80]The lemonade springs [00:47.98]Where the bluebird sings [00:49.49]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. [00:50.99]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains [00:54.42]All the cops have wooden legs [00:58.03]And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth [00:59.71]And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs [01:02.78]The farmers' trees are full of fruit [01:05.15]And the barns are full of hay [01:08.22]Oh I'm bound to go [01:09.45]Where there ain't no snow [01:10.77]Where the rain don't fall [01:12.11]The winds don't blow [01:13.24]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. [01:14.71]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains [01:18.54]You never change your socks [01:20.77]And the little streams of alcohol [01:23.37]Come trickling down the rocks [01:25.47]The brakemen have to tip their hats [01:28.82]And the railway bulls are blind [01:30.72]There's a lake of stew [01:33.06]And of whiskey too [01:34.30]You can paddle all around it [01:35.77]In a big canoe [01:36.80]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains [01:38.17]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, [01:42.38]The jails are made of tin. [01:44.86]And you can walk right out again, [01:46.81]As soon as you are in. [01:49.03]There ain't no short-handled shovels, [01:51.89]No axes, saws nor picks, [01:54.41]I'm bound to stay [01:56.11]Where you sleep all day, [01:57.43]Where they hung the jerk [01:58.74]That invented work [01:59.85]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
