Big Rock Candy Mountain-Steve Elkins

[00:03.24]Roger Whittaker - Big rock candy mountain [00:04.05] [00:06.64]One evening as the sun went down [00:09.44]And the jungle fires were burning, [00:12.16]Down the track came a hobo hiking, [00:14.88]And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning [00:17.63]I'm headed for a land that's far away [00:20.75]Besides the crystal fountains [00:23.14]So come with me, we'll go and see [00:26.21]The Big Rock Candy Mountains [00:27.59] [00:28.47]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, [00:31.11]There's a land that's fair and bright, [00:33.62]Where the handouts grow on bushes [00:36.14]And you sleep out every night. [00:38.93]Where the boxcars all are empty [00:41.41]And the sun shines every day [00:44.05]And the birds and the bees [00:45.33]And the cigarette trees [00:46.53]The lemonade springs [00:47.95]Where the bluebird sings [00:49.17]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. [00:52.09] [00:53.22]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains [00:55.61]All the cops have wooden legs [00:58.12]And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth [01:00.66]And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs [01:03.28]The farmers' trees are full of fruit [01:05.97]And the barns are full of hay [01:08.68]Oh I'm bound to go [01:09.61]Where there ain't no snow [01:10.89]Where the rain don't fall [01:12.16]The winds don't blow [01:13.71]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. [01:15.59] [01:17.43]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains [01:19.78]You never change your socks [01:22.20]And the little streams of alcohol [01:24.75]Come trickling down the rocks [01:27.04]The brakemen have to tip their hats [01:30.20]And the railway bulls are blind [01:32.10]There's a lake of stew [01:33.50]And of whiskey too [01:34.50]You can paddle all around it [01:36.16]In a big canoe [01:37.05]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains [01:38.77] [01:40.62]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, [01:43.03]The jails are made of tin. [01:45.42]And you can walk right out again, [01:47.94]As soon as you are in. [01:50.23]There ain't no short-handled shovels, [01:52.82]No axes, saws nor picks, [01:55.10]I'm bound to stay [01:56.30]Where you sleep all day, [01:57.68]Where they hung the jerk [01:58.82]That invented work [01:59.97]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
