CAPO 1 (or Not)
COne evening as the sun went down and the jungleG fires wereC burning
CDown the track came a hobo hiking and he said, "G;Boys I'Cm not turning" I'm
Fheaded for aC land that'sF far aCway beFsides theC crystalG fountain So
Ccome with me we'll go and see theG Big Rock CandyC Mountain
In theC Big Rock Candy Mountain There's aF land that's fair andC bright the
Fhandouts grow onC bushes and youF sleep out everyG night Where the
Cboxcars all are empty and theF sun shines everyC day On the
Fbirds and theC bees theF cigaretteC trees theF lemonadeC springs where the
FbluebirdC sings in TheG Big Rock CandyC Mountain
In TheC Big Rock Candy Mountain all theF cops have woodenC legs and the
Fbulldogs all haveC rubber teeth and theF hens lay soft boiledG eggs The
Cfarmer's trees are full of fruit and theF barns are full ofC hay Oh I'm
Fbound toC go where thereF ain't noC snow where thereF ain't noC fall and the
Fwinds don'tC blow in TheG Big Rock CandyC Mountain
In TheC Big Rock Candy Mountain youF never change yourC socks and the
Flittle streams ofC alcohol come aF tricklin' down theG rocks The
Cbrakemen have to tip their hats and theF railroad bulls areC blind There's a
Flake ofC stew and ofF wiskeyC too you canF paddle all aCround them in a
Fbig cCanoe in TheG Big Rock CandyC Mountain
In TheC Big Rock Candy Mountain theF jails are made ofC tin and
Fyou can walk rightC out again asF soon as you areG in There
Cain't no short handle shovels noF axes saws orC picks I'm
FgonnaC stay where youF sleep allC day where they
Fhung theC jerk that inFventedC work in The
