On top of spaghetti,

All covered with cheese,

I lost my poor meatball,

Rolled right out the door.

Is too dirty to eat.
Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 1]
C
One evening as the sun went down
F C
And the jungle fires were burning,
C
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
F C
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
F C F C
I'm headed for a land that's far away
C G
Besides the crystal fountains
C
So come with me, we'll go and see
F C
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 2]
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
F C
There's a land that's fair and bright,
F C
Where the handouts grow on bushes
F G
And you sleep out every night.
C
Where the boxcars all are empty
F C
And the sun shines every day
F C
And the birds and the bees
F C
And the cigarette trees
F C
The lemonade springs
F C
Where the bluebird sings
G C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 3]
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
F C
All the cops have wooden legs
F C
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
F G
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
C
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
F C
And the barns are full of hay
F C
Oh I'm bound to go
F C
Where there ain't no snow
F C
Where the rain don't fall
F C
The winds don't blow
G C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 4]
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
F C
You never change your socks
F C
And the little streams of alcohol
F G
Come trickling down the rocks
C
The brakemen have to tip their hats
F C
And the railway bulls are blind
F C
There's a lake of stew
F C
And of whiskey too
F C
You can paddle all around it
F C
In a big canoe
G C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 5]
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
F C
The jails are made of tin.
F C
And you can walk right out again,
F G
As soon as you are in.
C
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
F C
No axes, saws nor picks,
F C
I'm bound to stay
F C
Where you sleep all day,
F C
Where they hung the jerk
F C
That invented work
G C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Outro]
F C F C
I'll see you all this coming fall
G C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

You're a part of my heart

But tonight

[Bridge]
Fm
Wait down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
C D7
Once more just to dream in
G
The moonlight
[Verse 3]

My honey I know
C7
With the dawn
F Fm
That you will be gone
C
But tonight
G C G
You belong to me
C
But tonight
G
You belong
C
To me
Rare Old Mountain Dew
[Verse 1]
C F C G
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
C F C G C
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay

Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too
C F C G C
And we'll give 'em the slip,And we'll take a sip, Of the rare ol mountain dew

[Verse 2]
C C
There's a neat little still At the foot of the hill
C F
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
C F
By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell
C G C
That there's poteen brewin' nearby
C C C F
For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
C F C G C
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew
[Chorus]
C F C G
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
C F C G C
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 3]
C C C F
Now learned men, Who use the pen, Have written your praises high
C F C G C
Of the rare poteen, From Ireland green, That's made from wheat and rye
C C C F
So, Away with yer pills, It'll cure all ills, Be ya, Pagan, Christian or Jew
C F C G C
So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew
[Chorus]
C F C G
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
