CHORUS:

Oh the ^Cbuzzin’ of the bees and the cigarette trees The ^Fsoda water ^Cfountain Where the ^G7lemonade springs and the ^Cbluebird sings In the ^G7Big Rock Candy ^CMountain

VERSE 1:

^COn a summer’s day in the month of May A ^G7burly bum come a ^Chikin’

Down a shady lane near the sugar cane

He was ^G7lookin’ for hi^Cs likin’ As he ^G7strolled along he ^Csung a song Of the ^G7land of milk and ^Choney

Where a bum can stay for many a day

And he ^G7won't need any ^Cmoney CHORUS

VERSE 2:

^CIn the Big Rock Candy Mountain The ^G7cops have wooden ^Clegs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the ^G7hens lay soft-boiled ^Ceggs The ^G7farmers trees are ^Cfull of fruit And the ^G7barns are full of ^Chay

I want to go where there ain't no snow Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow

In that ^G7Big Rock Candy ^CMountain CHORUS

Burl Ives - Big rock candy mountain
