C                      F              C  
One evening as the sun went down  
C                       F              C  
And the jungle fire was burning  
C                   F                C  
Down the track came a hobo hiking  
C                     F           C  
And he said "Boys, I'm not turning"  

C                     F                 C  
I'm headed for a land that's far away  
C                    F             C  
Beside the crystal fountain  
C                   F            C  
I'll soon be drinking lemonade  
C                         F            C  
With all the kids at Big Rock Candy Mountain  

C                      F                C  
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain  
C                      F                C  
There's a land that's fair and bright  
C                   F               C  
Where the handouts grow on bushes  
C                     F               C  
And you sleep out every night  

C                      F                C  
Where the boxcars are all empty  
C                       F              C  
And the sun shines every day  
C                     F               C  
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette
