Big Rock Candy Mountain - The Hit Co.
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were 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
Besides the crystal fountains
We'll see you all these coming from
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
There's a land that's fair and bright
The handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty
And the sun shines every 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
