Big Rock Candy Mountains Catherine Britt
One [A]evening as the sun went down,
and the jungle [E]fires were [A]burning,
Down the track came a ho-bo hiking.
He said "Boys I[E]'m not t[A]urning.
I'm [D]head-ed for a [A]land that's
[D]far a[A]way be[D]side the [A]crystal [E]fountains.
So [A]come with me we’ll go and see
the Big Rock C[E]andy M[A]ountains.
In the [A]Big Rock Candy Mountains there’s a
[D]land that’s fair and [A]bright, where the [D]hand-
Outs grow on [A]bushes and you sleep out e[E]very night.
Where the [A]box-cars all are empty and
The [D]sun shines every [A]day. Oh the [D]birds and the [A]bees
and the [D]Cigarette [A]trees, the [D]lemonade [A]springs where the
[D]blue bird [A]sings in the [E]Big Rock Candy [A]Mountains.
In the big Rock Candy Mountains.
All the cops have wooden legs
and the bull-dogs all have rubber teeth
and the hens lay soft-boiled eggs.
The farmer's trees are full of fruit
and the barns are full of hay.
Oh, I'm bound to go where there aint no snow,
where the rain don’t fall
and the wind don’t blow
in the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
The Big Rock Candy Mountains.
You never change your socks.
And the little streams of alcohol
come a trickling down the rocks.
The brake men have to tip their hats
and the rail road bulls are blind.
There's a lake of stew and whiskey too,
you can paddle round in a Big canoe
in the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The Big Rock Candy Mountains.
The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again
just as soon as you’re put in.
There aint no short-handled shovels.
No axes, saws or picks.
I'm going to stay where you sleep all day,
where they hung the jerk who invented work
in the Big Rock Candy Mountains
End:
I’ll [D]see you [A]all this [D]coming [A]fall in the [E]big rock candy
[A]mountains.
