Big Rock Candy Mountain - Cisco Houston
On a summer day
In the month of May
A burly bum came a hiking
Down a shady lane
Through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking
As he strolled 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
In the big rock candy mountains
There's a land that's fair and bright
Where handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Well boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountain
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come a trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around em
In a big canoe
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountains
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out boys
As soon as you work in
There ain't no short handled shovels
No axes saws or picks
I'm gonna stay
Where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountain
The cops have wooden legs
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
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
And winds don't blow
In the big rock candy mountains
Oh come with me and we'll go see
The big rock candy mountains
