im a 20 yo american and i assure you although they didnt play this in such an atmospheric setting, my parents and I enjoyed this too. its an american thing. one can only hope something this beautiful will never be a generational thing
I learned this song through my great grandfather. One of the last movies he enjoyed before he left this earth was Brother where art thou. It reminded him of his childhood. He loved it so much he was gifted the soundtrack one year for Christmas. He'd play it over and over again, And on that CD was harry mcclintocks big rock candy mountain. I heard it so much i began to memorize it.
Big Rock Candy Mountain . A very old song but a very good one . Makes me feel happy . Whistled right along with You . Thank you for singing this song .
Ya'at'eeh shik'is🕊 from Iyanbito, NM Im trying to learn this song and I appreciate you for giving me a glimpse. These lyrics are still relevant to this day.
Some of the best lyrics ever written my friend, and you did a wonderful job playing and singing. The world could use a lot more of this. Thank you sir, you have made my day.
you lifted my spirits a bit mr. big tim. im no hobo but a park ranger who fallows the spirit of the law as much as i can. have a drink on me and be merry
I can tell you love this tune as much as I am hearing you play and sing it. Thank you so much. Looks like that fire is big enough for two. maybe someday I will join you abd we can pick a little.
Thanks… I canoed about seven miles to this spot in the wilderness… only the Moose heard me😂 I’ll have to check out Billy’s version… I’m sure it’s awesome!
if you never sat on the side of the road in a no ride town for 3 days running low....you don't know. This song is as close as you will get. I will never forget the native american lady who finally got me the hell out....she was coming from a casino....and had just won. i sat in her passenger seat just listening....quietly thinking to myself..."$%^& Blue Lake"
Wow, you are truly a fantastic musician. This is an amazing cover of such a special song. I have both subscribed and liked, and I can’t wait to listen to more of your covers of songs like these.
My mother is a Giant film and literature buff, I only know this song song from Oh Brother Where Art Thou. I genuinely didn't know this was a real song outside of film.

I'm 25 and have the song memorized and can play on guitar, no worries
@brabbit303 great tune ! Is your rendition on RUclips ?
I'm 19 I've never hear of it till now but I'm certainly adding it to my list of things to play while I'm out on the trail
@yoitsmilotic dont break the loop. sing or play it for your kids if you have some sometime
@panwitt I have six kids, several in their fifties.. they sure have heard this one from me a lot!😂
This is what you tube is supposed to be. No beg for likes and subscribe, just simple entertainment.
Thank you. I agree.
I love that this is a hobo fantasy song but is traditionally played as a wholesome family/children's song.
Yeah… that’s right!.👍💕🔥
I love how it started our “Mountain” and transitioned to “mountains”. More joy to be had!!!
Unconscious error !😀
I'm Canadian, and I love this old Americana. There's something timeless about American folk music. Great rendition!
Thank you! Agree!

Us little ones loved this tune in the early 1950s.. I loved it when it was in “Oh Brother….”
The feeling that comes from this rendition is something I'd like to call the spirit of America.
I am honored!
My old man used to play this song...miss you dad❤. Thank you sir for posting this!🙂

Thanks… I canoed about seven miles to this spot in the wilderness… only the Moose heard me😂 I’ll have to check out Billy’s version… I’m sure it’s awesome!
@ wow. Awesome. Not asking for details but what state is that in? Looks fantastic.
It is in the upper peninsula of Michigan a few miles from Lake Superior..😀 total wilderness,
@ love it! I’m in Grand Rapids… We go to the upper peninsula every August. :-) Maybe we can pick together sometime. Lol.
