Big Rock Candy Mountain

One evening as the sun went down and the circus it was over

The tent came down and the funny old clown said Boys I'm now in clover

I headed for a land that's far away beside the popcorn fountain

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

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain there's a land that's bright and fair

Where the doughnuts grow on bushes and there's lots of cookies there

Where the dogs and cats are happy and the sun shines everyday

Where there's birds and bees in the bubble-gum trees by the lemonade springs

And the whippoorwill sings in the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain the houses are built of blocks

And the little steams of soda pop come trickling down the rocks

The soldiers there are made of lead and they are very brave

There's a lake of stew and ice cream too you can paddle all around in a paper canoe

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain the frogs have wooden legs

And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay hard-boiled eggs

There's chocolate pie in all the trees and jam in all the lakes

Well I'm gonna go where the wind don't blow there's a big free show

And there's candy snow in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

So come with me and you're gonna see the Big Rock Candy Mountain
