Lyrics

[Intro]
| E |

[Chorus]
B7 E
    Oh,
    E
the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Verse 1]
     E
On a summer day in the month of May
  B7               E
A burly bum came a hiking
       E
Down a shady lane through the sugar cane
       B7              E
He was looking for his liking
      B7                E                  B7
As he strolled along he sang a song of the land of milk and
E
honey
Where a bum can stay for many a day
       B7             E
And he won't need any money

[Chorus]
Oh,
    B7 E
the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Verse 2]
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
    B7               E
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
        B7                  E
And the hens lay softboiled eggs
    B7                 E
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
    B7                   E
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
            B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Chorus]
Oh,
       E
the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7             E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

[Outro]
Oh,
    B7 E
the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
    A          E
The soda water fountain
          B7                       E
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
        B7                 E
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
