In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, All the cops have wooden legs, And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs. The farmer's trees are full of fruit And the barns are full of hay. O I'm bound to go, where there ain't no snow, Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

There ain't no shorthandled shovels No axes, saws or picks- I'm a-going to stay, where you sleep all day Where they boiled in oil the inventor of toil In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
