From Oh Brother Where Art Thou

Verse 1
    					    		     
One evening as the sun went down, and the jungle fire was burning,
					    		       
Down the track came a hobo hiking, and he said boys I'm not turning,
       				 		     
I'm headed for a land that's far away, beside the crystal fountain,
   	                   				
So come with me we'll go and see, the big rock candy mountains.

Verse 2
					     			   	
In the big rock candy mountains, there's a land that's fair and bright,
	   				     		      
Where the handouts grow on bushes, and you sleep out every night.
	   				   		     
Where the boxcars all are empty, and the sun shines every day,
   		  			   
On the birds and bees and the cigarette trees,
     	      				   
the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings,
       		
in the big rock candy mountains.

(Then the pattern repeats through other verses)
