Karaoké Big Rock Candy Mountain Harry Mcclintock

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were a burning

Down the track came a hobo hiking an' he said boys

I'm not turning

I'm a heading for a land that's far away beside that crystal fountain

I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big

Rock candy mountain

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees by the soda water fountains

By the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings in the big rock candy mountain

Yeah

In the Big Rock candy mountains it's a land that's fair and bright, the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night

The boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day

I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow where the sleet don't fall

And the wind don't blow in the Big Rock candy mountain

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees by the soda water fountains

By the lemonade spring where the bluebird sings in the big rock candy mountain

In the Big Rock candy mountain you never change your socks

Little streams of alcohol come a trickling down the rocks

Oh the shacks all have to tip their hats and the railway bulls are blind

There's a lake of stew and ginger ale too when you can paddle

All around it in a big canoe in the Big Rock candy mountain

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees by the soda water fountains

By the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings in the Big Rock candy mountain

In the Big Rock candy mountain the jails are made of tin

You can slip right out again as soon as they put you in

There ain't no short handled shovels no axes saws or picks

I'm bound to stay where you sleep all day where they hung the jerk

That invented work in the Big Rock candy mountain

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees by the soda water fountains

By the lemonade spring where the bluebird sings in the Big Rock candy mountain
