I learned this from listening to Burl Ives records, but I don't know where I got these verse lyrics... I clearly left out some important ones, like how on the Big Rock Candy Mountain "all the cops have wooden legs," and how there are "cigarette trees," etc. It's all about a hobo's dreamland. Where you don't have to work cuz everything is free and right out there for the taking. The song was first recorded by Harry McClintock in 1928. The song is now in the public domain.
