Lyrics The Big Rock Candy Mountain - Burl Ives

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

On a summer's day
In the month of May
A burly bum came ahiking

Down a shady lane
Through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking

As he strolled along
He sang a song
Of the land of milk and honey

Where a bum can stay
For many a day
And he won't need any money

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
The barns are full of hay
I want to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall
And the the wind don't blow
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
