Lyrics Roger Whittaker

Roger Whittaker

Big Rock Candy Mountain

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain.

On a summer's day, in the month of May

A billy-bum come hikin'

Down a shady lane near the sugar cane

He was lookin' for his liklin'

As he strolled along he sung a song

Of the land of 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

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

The cops have wooden legs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit

The barns are full of hay

I want to go where there ain't no snow

Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees and the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
