On a summer day in the month of May
A burly bum came hiking
Down a shady lane through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking
As he roamed along he sang a song
Of land and 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 and the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Near the lemonade spring where the bluebirds sing
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain
On the run came a farmer and his son
To the hay fields they were boundin'
Said the bum to the son, "Why don't you come
To that Big Rock Candy Mountain?"
So the mail train stops and there ain't no cops
And the folks are tender countin'
Where they'll never arrive at the lemonade tide
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees
And the soda water fountain
Near the lemonade spring where the bluebirds sing
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees
And the soda water fountain
Near the lemonade spring where the bluebirds sing
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain
