         C                 
One evening as the sun went down
          F                 C
And the jungle fires were burning,
           C
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
         F                     C
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
       F           C           F    C
I'm headed for a land that's far away
   C                  G
Besides the crystal fountains
      C
So come with me, we'll go and see
      F               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
                           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
                               G
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
       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
                           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,
                    G
As soon as you are in.
        C
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
     F               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.
