C
One evening as the sun went down
                         G               C
And the jungle fires were burning
C                    
Down the track came a hobo hiking
                           G          D
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
    F                    C            F      C
I'm headed for a land that's far away
       F                C      G
Besides the crystal fountains
       C              
So come with me, we'll go and see
          G                   C
The Big Rock Candy Mountains

               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

      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                       C
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
            F                     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

              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

           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             C 
As soon as you are in
                    C                  F
There ain't no short-handled shovels
              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

C    F       C       F
I'll see you all this coming fall
          G                    C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
