Muck Sticky The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Intro]
Hey Smitty! Mervous! Y'all come help me sing this one!
Aaah
[Verse 1]
One evening, as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountain
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 2]
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
There's a land that's 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 cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
Yeah
[Verse 3]
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
That's right
And the farmer's trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't flow
The wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 4]
Uh-huh
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come a-trickling down the rocks
And the brakemen have to tip their hats
And the ganja bowls are fine
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 5]
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again
As soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels
No axes, saws or picks
I'm gonna stay
Where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
*whistles*
[Outro]
I'll see you all
This coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
