Big Rock Candy Mountain - Susie Tallman

One evening as the sun went down

And the jungle fire was burning

Down the track came a hobo hikin'

And he said boys I'm not turning

I'm headed for a land that's far away

Beside the crystal fountains

So come with me we'll go and see

The big rock candy mountains

Oh the buzzing of the bees in the peppermint trees

And the soda water fountains

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountain

In the big rock candy mountains

There's a land that's fair and bright

Where the candys grow on bushes

And you sleep out every night

Where love is are around you

And the sun shines every day

On the birds and the bees and the pepperminttrees

The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountains

Oh the buzzing of the bees in the peppermint trees

And the soda water fountains

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountain

In the big rock candy mountains

All the cops have wooden legs

And 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 fallthe wind don't blow

In the big rock candy mountains

Oh the buzzing of the bees in the peppermint trees

And the soda water fountains

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountain

In the big rock candy mountains

There's a land that's fair and bright

Where the candys grow on bushes

And you sleep out every night

Where love is are around you

And the sun shines every day

On the birds and the bees and the peppermint trees

The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountains
