Big Rock Candy Mountain - Harry McClintock

[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.
