Introduction:
One [C C]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 [F F]headed for a [C C]land that's [F F]far a[C C]way, 
Be[F F]side the crystal [G7 G7]fountains, 
So [C C]come with me, we'll go and see, 
The Big Rock [G7 G7]Candy [C C]Mountains."
Verse 1:
"[C C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains 
There's a [F F]land that's fair and [C C]bright, 
Where the [F F]handouts grow on [C C]bushes, 
And you [F F]sleep out every [G7 G7]night, 
Where the [C C]boxcars all are empty, 
And the [F F]sun shines every [C C]day, 
On the [F F]birds and the [C C]bees 
And the [F F]cigarette [C C]trees, 
The [F F]lemonade [C C]springs 
Where the [F F]bluebird [C C]sings, 
In the [G7 G7]Big Rock Candy [C C]Mountains."
Verse 2:
"[C C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains 
All the [F F]cops have wooden [C C]legs, 
And the [F F]bulldogs all have [C C]rubber teeth, 
And the [F F]hens lay soft boiled [G7 G7]eggs. 
The [C C]farmers' trees are full of fruit 
And the [F F]barns are full of [C C]hay. 
Oh, I'm [F F]bound to [C C]go 
Where there [F F]ain't no [C C]snow, 
Where the [F F]rain don't [C C]fall 
And the [F F]wind don't [C C]blow, 
In the [G7 G7]Big Rock Candy [C C]Mountains."
Verse 3:
"[C C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains 
You [F F]never change your [C C]socks, 
And the [F F]little streams of [C C]alcohol 
Come a-[F F]tricklin' down the [G7 G7]rocks, 
The [C C]brakemen have to tip their hats 
And the [F F]railroad bulls are [C C]blind. 
There's a [F F]lake of [C C]stew, 
And of [F F]whiskey [C C]too, 
You can [F F]paddle all a[C C]round 'em 
In a [F F]big ca[C C]noe, 
In the [G7 G7]Big Rock Candy [C C]Mountains."
Verse 4:
"[C C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, 
The [F F]jails are made of [C C]tin, 
And [F F]you can walk right [C C]out again, 
As [F F]soon as you are [G7 G7]in. 
There [C C]ain't no short-handled shovels, 
No [F F]axes, saws, or [C C]picks, 
I'm a-[F F]going to [C C]stay, 
Where you [F F]sleep all [C C]day, 
Where they [F F]hung the [C C]jerk, 
Who in[F F]vented [C C]work, 
I'll [F F]see you [C C]all 
This [F F]coming [C C]fall, 
In the [G7 G7]Big Rock Candy [C C]Mountains."
