Verse 1:
C
One evening as the sun went down
      G              C
And the jungle fire was burning,
C
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
              G          C
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
F               C      F      C
I'm headed for a land that's far away
F           C        G
Besides the crystal fountains
C
So come with me, we'll go and see
        G     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
F                        G
And you sleep out every night
C
Where the boxcars all are empty
F                         C
And the sun shines every day
F                C
On 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

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
F                         C
All the cops have wooden legs
F                          C
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
F                 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

The wind don't blow

You never change your socks
F                        C
And the little streams of alcohol
F                    G
Come trickling down the rocks
C
The brakemen have to tip their hats
F                       C
And the railroad bulls are blind
F               C
There's a lake of stew
F              C
And of whiskey, too
F               C
You can paddle all around 'em

In a big canoe

And you can walk right out again,
F               G
As soon as you are in
C
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
F              C
No axes, saws or picks,
F           C
I'ma goin' to stay
F                C
Where you sleep all day,
F                C
Where they hung the Turk
F              C
That invented work
G                C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
F             C   F           C
I'll see you all this coming Fall
