Download - Big Rock Candy Mountain!
What do Haywire Mack, Burl
Ives, and the movies O
Brother Where Art Thou and
Runaway Jury have in
common? The song “Big
Rock Candy Mountain!” The
lyrics of the song describe a
traveling hobo who comes
down the tracks to find peace
and perfection at the BRCM.
According to the song, Big
Rock is a place where the
handouts grow on bushes,
the cops all have wooden
legs, and you sleep all day
next to a spring of lemonade.
