In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
There's a land that's fair and bright
And the handouts grow on bushes
And they sleep out every night
And the boxcars are all empty
And the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
The sleet don't fall and the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
ย
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Never change your socks
And little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
And the shacks all have tippy caps
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and a ginger up too
You can paddle on a rattle in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
ย
Rollin' and a-tumblin'
Take me to the mountain
Oh, fly closer to the sun
Reelin' and a-rumblin'
I'm movin' not stumblin'
Oh, come with me on my candy mountain
Candy mountain run
Candy mountain run
ย
Droppin' lots of little ones from up high
Drum drops, lemon drops rainin' from the sky
Come on and ride close to the sun
Come on ride with me on a candy mountain run
Rollin' and a-tumblin'
Take me to the mountain
Oh, fly closer to the sun
Reelin' and a-rumblin'
I'm movin' not stumblin'
Oh, come with me on my candy mountain
Candy mountain run
Candy mountain run
ย
Movin' through the hot ground, wish you could come
Maybe down the left, you drive the big one
All the little children, hands up high
Waitin' for the sugar plums fallin' from the sky
And I'm movin' through the hot ground to the sugar mine
Movin' in secret so clandestine
World of fantasy, wish you could come
Mama little baby on a candy mountain run
Rollin' and a-tumblin'
Take me to the mountain
Oh, fly closer to the sun
Reelin' and a-rumblin'
I'm movin' not stumblin'
Oh, come with me on my candy mountain
Candy mountain run
Candy mountain run
ย
Come on ride with me close to the sun
Mama keep tellin' me not to come
Used to be a mouse, now I can roar
Might give myself a little bit more
ย
Forget about tomorrow, live for today
No guarantee you're gonna make it anyway
My special candy tastes good now
Every day I die a little anyhow
Rollin' and a-tumblin'
Take me to the mountain
Oh, fly closer to the sun
Reelin' and a-rumblin'
I'm movin' not stumblin'
Oh, come with me on my candy mountain
Candy mountain run
Candy mountain run
