One evening as the sun went down,
and the jungle fires were burning
Down the track came a ho bo hiking,
and he said boys Im not turning.
I'm headed for a land thats far aw ay,
beside the crystal fountain.
I'll see you all this coming fall
in the big rock candy mountain.
In the big rock candy mountain
theres a land thats 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 every day
On the birds and the bees,
and the ciagarette trees
the lemonade springs
and the bluebird sings
On the big rock candy mountain
