Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 1]
F
One evening as the sun went down
Bb F
And the jungle fires were burning,
F
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
Bb F
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
Bb F Bb F
I'm headed for a land that's far away
F C
Besides the crystal fountains

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

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Of the rare poteen, From Ireland green, That's made from wheat and rye

So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew
