[00:10.05]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[00:11.82]in the cigarette trees
[00:13.53]The soda water fountain
[00:16.38]where the lemonade springs
[00:18.18]And the bluebird sings in that
[00:20.04]Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:25.59]On a summer day
[00:27.24]In the month of May
[00:28.86]A burly bum came ahiking
[00:31.32]Down a shady lane
[00:33.27]Through the sugar cane
[00:34.56]He was looking for his liking
[00:37.62]As he strolled along
[00:39.48]He sang a song
[00:40.77]Of the land of milk and honey
[00:43.59]Where a bum can stay
[00:45.27]For many a day
[00:47.07]And he won't need any money
[00:49.11]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[00:49.56]in the cigarette trees
[00:50.10]The soda water fountain
[00:50.61]where the lemonade springs
[00:51.27]And the bluebird sings in that
[00:51.90]Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:52.83]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:53.46]The cops have wooden legs
[00:54.00]The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
[00:54.78]And the hens lay soft boiled eggs
[00:55.44]The farmers' trees are full of fruit
[00:56.19]The barns are full of hay
[00:56.70]I want to go where there ain't no snow
[00:57.39]Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow
[00:58.92]In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
[00:59.61]There's a lake of gin
[01:00.03]We can both jump in
[01:00.45]And the handouts grow on bushes
[01:01.11]In the new mown hay
[01:01.50]We can sleep all day
[01:02.01]And the bars all have free lunches
[01:02.73]Where the mail train stops
[01:03.27]And there ain't no cops
[01:03.75]And the folks are tender hearted
[01:04.47]Where you never change your socks
[01:05.22]And you never throw rocks
[01:05.76]And your hair is never parted
[01:06.45]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[01:06.90]in the cigarette trees
[01:07.44]The soda water fountain
[01:08.31]where the lemonade springs
[01:10.20]And the bluebird sings in that
[01:11.19]Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:11.73]Oh a farmer and his son
[01:12.33]They were on the run
[01:12.69]To the hay field they were bounding
[01:13.35]Said the bum to the son
[01:13.83]Why don't you come
[01:14.13]To that big rock candy mountain
[01:14.85]So the very next day
[01:15.81]They hiked away
[01:16.08]The mileposts they were counting
[01:16.77]But they never arrived
[01:17.34]At the lemonade tide
[01:17.76]On the big rock candy mountain
[01:18.78]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[01:19.23]in the cigarette trees
[01:19.71]The soda water fountain
[01:20.34]where the lemonade springs
[01:20.91]And the bluebird sings in that
[01:21.54]Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:22.08]One evening as the sun went down
[01:22.74]And the jungle fires were burning
[01:23.49]Down the track came a hobo hiking
[01:24.33]He said Boys I'm not turning
[01:25.32]I'm heading for a land that's far away
[01:26.10]Beside the crystal fountain
[01:26.73]I'll see you all this coming fall
[01:27.42]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:28.26]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[01:28.71]in the cigarette trees
[01:29.22]The soda water fountain
[01:29.73]where the lemonade springs
[01:30.27]And the bluebird sings in that
[01:31.02]Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:31.65]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:32.37]It's a land that's fair and bright
[01:33.09]The handouts grow on bushes
[01:33.69]And you sleep out every night
[01:34.47]The boxcars all are empty
[01:35.01]And the sun shines every day
[01:35.61]I'm bound to go
[01:35.91]Where there ain't no snow
[01:37.77]Where the sleet don't fall
[01:40.17]And the winds don't blow
[01:41.73]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:42.57]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[01:43.02]in the cigarette trees
[01:43.50]The soda water fountain
[01:44.01]where the lemonade springs
[01:44.55]And the bluebird sings in that
[01:45.18]Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:45.90]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:46.59]You never change your socks
[01:47.16]And little streams of alkyhol
[01:47.91]Come trickling down the rocks
[01:48.51]O the shacks all have to tip their hats
[01:49.53]And the railway bulls are blind
[01:50.22]There's a lake of stew
[01:50.61]And ginger ale too
[01:51.00]And you can paddle
[01:51.42]All around it in a big canoe
[01:52.05]In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
[01:52.77]Oh the buzzin' of the bees
[01:54.09]in the cigarette trees
[01:56.10]The soda water fountain
[01:59.28]where the lemonade springs

[02:14.82]There ain't no short handled shovels
[02:15.60]No axes saws nor picks
[02:16.17]I'm bound to stay
[02:16.50]Where you sleep all day
[02:16.92]Where they hung the jerk

Oh the buzzin' of the bees
in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
where the lemonade springs
And the bluebird sings in that
Big Rock Candy Mountain
On a summer day
In the month of May
A burly bum came ahiking
Down a shady lane
Through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking
As he strolled along
He sang a song
Of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay
For many a day
And he won't need any money
Oh the buzzin' of the bees
in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
where the lemonade springs
And the bluebird sings in that
Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
The barns are full of hay
I want to go where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
There's a lake of gin
We can both jump in
And the handouts grow on bushes
In the new mown hay
We can sleep all day
And the bars all have free lunches
Where the mail train stops
And there ain't no cops
And the folks are tender hearted
Where you never change your socks
And you never throw rocks
And your hair is never parted
Oh the buzzin' of the bees
in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
where the lemonade springs
And the bluebird sings in that
Big Rock Candy Mountain
Oh a farmer and his son
They were on the run
To the hay field they were bounding
Said the bum to the son
Why don't you come
To that big rock candy mountain
So the very next day
They hiked away
The mileposts they were counting
But they never arrived
At the lemonade tide
On the big rock candy mountain
Oh the buzzin' of the bees

The soda water fountain

And the bluebird sings in that

One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking

And you sleep out every night
The boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
