lyrics

BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN

On a summer day
In the month of May
A burly bum came hiking
Down a shady lane
Through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking
As he roamed along
He sang a song
Of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay
For many a day
And he won’t need any money

Oh the buzzin’ of the bees
the bubblegum trees
soda water fountain
the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the big rock candy mountain

There’s a lake of gin
We can both jump in
And the handouts grow on bushes
In the new-mown hay
We can sleep all day
And the bars all have free lunches
Where the mail train stops
And there ain’t no cops
And the folks are tender-hearted
Where you never change your socks
And you never throw rocks
And your hair is never parted

Oh the buzzin’ of the bees
the bubblegum trees
soda water fountain
the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the big rock candy mountain

Oh the buzzin’ of the bees
the bubblegum trees
soda water fountain
the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the big rock candy mountain
