Reply #11: The Beat Farmer version lyrics

[gmoney]

One evening as the sun went down, the jungle fires were burnin'
Down the tracks came a hobo hikin', and he said: Boys, I'm not turnin'
I'm headed for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountain
Come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines everyday
Ah the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay hard-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit, the barns are full of hay
I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain you never change your socks
And little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad 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 Mountain

I'll see you all this comin' fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountain
