One evening as the sun went down
and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came the hobo
Jack and he said, boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
beside the crystal fountain
So come with me, we'll go and see
the big rock candy mountains
Oh, the buzzing of the bees
From the soda water fountains
Where the lemonade springs
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountains
There's a land that's fair and bright
Where candy grows on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where love is all around you
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
In the big rock candy mountains
Oh, the buzzing of the bees
From the soda water fountains
Where the lemonade springs
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountains
All the cocks have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft -boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Where there ain't no snow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
Oh, the buzzing of the bees
From the soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
there's a land that's fair and bright
Where candy grows on bushes,
and you sleep out every night
Where love is around you,
and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
