Big Rock Candy Mountain - Cisco Houston[00:00:00]
On a summer day[00:00:00]
In the month of May[00:00:02]
A burly bum came a hiking[00:00:05]
Down a shady lane[00:00:09]
Through the sugar cane[00:00:12]
He was looking for his liking[00:00:14]
As he strolled along[00:00:18]
He sang a song[00:00:20]
Of the land of milk and honey[00:00:21]
Where a bum can stay[00:00:25]
For many a day[00:00:27]
And he won't need any money[00:00:30]
In the big rock candy mountains[00:00:35]
There's a land that's fair and bright[00:00:37]
Where handouts grow on bushes[00:00:40]
And you sleep out every night[00:00:42]
Well boxcars all are empty[00:00:45]
And the sun shines every day[00:00:47]
On the birds and the bees[00:00:49]
And the cigarette trees[00:00:51]
The lemonade springs[00:00:52]
Where the bluebird sings[00:00:53]
In the big rock candy mountains[00:00:54]
In the big rock candy mountain[00:01:05]
You never change your socks[00:01:07]
And the little streams of alcohol[00:01:10]
Come a trickling down the rocks[00:01:12]
The brakemen have to tip their hats[00:01:14]
And the railway bulls are blind[00:01:17]
There's a lake of stew[00:01:19]
And of whiskey too[00:01:20]
You can paddle all around em[00:01:21]
In a big canoe[00:01:23]
In the big rock candy mountains[00:01:24]
In the big rock candy mountains[00:01:34]
The jails are made of tin[00:01:37]
And you can walk right out boys[00:01:39]
As soon as you work in[00:01:42]
There ain't no short handled shovels[00:01:44]
No axes saws or picks[00:01:46]
I'm gonna stay[00:01:49]
Where you sleep all day[00:01:50]
Where they hung the jerk[00:01:51]
That invented work[00:01:52]
In the big rock candy mountains[00:01:53]
In the big rock candy mountain[00:01:59]
The cops have wooden legs[00:02:02]
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth[00:02:04]
And the hens lay soft boiled eggs[00:02:06]
The farmers' trees are full of fruit[00:02:09]
And the barns are full of hay[00:02:11]
Oh I'm bound to go[00:02:13]
Where there ain't no snow[00:02:14]
Where the rain don't fall[00:02:16]
And winds don't blow[00:02:17]
In the big rock candy mountains[00:02:18]
Oh come with me and we'll go see[00:02:20]
The big rock candy mountains[00:02:24]
