the highwaymen (folk) - big rock candy mountain lyrics
[verse 1]
on a summer’s day
in the month of may
a burly bum came hikin’
down the shady lane
through the sugarcane
he was lookin’ for his likin’
as he strolled along
he sang a song
called “the land of milk and honey”
where a bum can stay
for many a day
and he don’t need any money
[chorus]
oh, the buzzin’ of the bees
in the cigarette trees
the soda water fountain
where the lemonade springs
and the bluebird sings
on the big rock candy mountain
[verse 2]
there’s a lake of gin
we can both jump in
and the hand outs grow on bushes
in the new+mown hay
you can sleep all day
and the bars all serve free lunches
where the meal train stops
and there ain’t no cops
and the folks are tender+hearted
where you never throw rocks
and you never wear socks
and your hair is never parted
[chorus]
oh, the buzzin’ of the bees
in the cigarette trees
the soda water fountain
where the lemonade springs
and the bluebird sings
on the big rock candy mountain
[verse 3]
a farmer and his son
they were on the run
through a hayfield they were bounding
said the bum to the son
“why don’t you come
to the big rock candy mountain”?
so the very next day
they hiked away
a mile post they kept countin’
but they never arrived
at the lemonade tide
at the big rock candy mountain
[chorus]
oh, the buzzin’ of the bees
in the cigarette trees
the soda water fountain
where the lemonade springs
and the bluebird sings
on the big rock candy mountain
[outro]
big rock candy mountain
