C On a summer day in the month of May G7 C A burly bum came hiking Down a shady lane through the sugar cane G7 C He was looking for his liking G7 C As he strolled along he sang a song G7 C Of the land of milk and honey Where a bum can stay for many a day G7 C And he won't need any money [Chorus] C Oh the buzzing of the bees at the cigarette trees F C Near the soda water fountain G7 C And the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings G7 C In the Big Rock Candy Mountain [Verse] C In the Big Rock Candy Mountain G7 C All cops have wooden legs The bulldogs all have rubber teeth G7 C And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs G7 C The farmers trees are full of fruit G7 C Their barns are full of hay I want to go where there ain't no snow Where the sleet don't fall the winds don't blow G7 C And the bum can sleep all day [Chorus] C Oh the buzzing of the bees at the cigarette trees F C Near the soda water fountain G7 C And the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings G7 C In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
