Soggy Bottom Boys

Big Rock Candy Mountains

by Soggy Bottom Boys
Soggy Bottom Boys

Biography:

Jordan Rivers and the Soggy Bottom Boys are the fictitious Depression-era "old-timey music" quartet and accompaniment from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? The name Soggy Bottom Boys is possibly a reference to the famous Foggy Mountain Boys, a West Virginia bluegrass band of the 1940s with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, but also a humorous name given the two backup singers who were wet from being baptized earlier in the film. The Soggy Bottom Boys’ hit single is Dick Burnett's "Man of Constant Sorrow

Big Rock Candy Mountains

C
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning

down the track came a hobo hiking And he said Boys I'm not turning
F C F C F G
I'm headed for a land that's far a-way be-side the crystal fountains
C
So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains There's a land that's fair and bright
F C F G
Where the hand-outs grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
C F C
Where the box-cars all are empty and the sun shines every-day
F C F C F C
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees the lemonade springs
F C G C
where the blue bird sings in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
F C F G
and the bull-dogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
C F C
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
F C F C F Oh I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow where the rain don't fall
F C G C
the wind don't blow in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains You never change your socks
F C F G
and the little streams of alcohol come a trickling down the rocks
C F C
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the rail-road bulls are blind
F C F C F C
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too you can paddle all round 'em
F C G C
in a big canoe in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
F C F G
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
C F C
There ain't no short-handled shovels No axes saws or picks
F C F C F C
I'm gonna stay where you sleep all day where they hung the jerk
F C G C
who invented work in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

F C F C G C
I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains
