This is how I hope Shoestring is living it up right now!
This is amazing! Thank you, I've never heard this version before.
What a rich and historic ephemera captured and collected and held for academics. This is now part of my curriculum. Folklore and Folksong are one thing, but this elevates it to new heights. Thank you for allowing this to remain published.
Thanks for watching!
How anybody can't appreciate this I don't understand
I love it. Of course the real version of the song is far better. This is a parody of what was a very famous song at the time. Check out the original version. It is such a classic they opened the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou with the real version.
@josephcamhi5676 I'm pretty sure Harry McClintock sang the version of big rock candy mountain in O brother where art thou?
Exactly
I'm 33 and love it
this is a rare Gem .
Hit the Sheriff,,,what a name for a band
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, besides the crystal fountains. So come with me we’ll go and see the big rock candy mountains. In the big rock candy mountains the living there is swell, why we’ll think we’ve never met such gals in the mountains there they dwell. Why they make your life a pleasure, they are your beckon call. Where you sing and play and the grub they pay; that’s the life for me, where the drinking is free in the big rock candy mountains. In the big rock candy mountains, you leave a life of ease. Why the place is filled with cuties, who always drive to please. You never do no walking; you ride and roll in chairs, where the Champaign fountains grows it’s spray and you make pay hay all the live long day in the big rock candy mountains. It was hard to understand what McClintock said at 0:46 so I assumed it was “why we’ll”
at 0:46 he says "Where Ziegfield", Ziegfield being the writer of the Ziegfield Follies, featuring his "Ziegfield Girls", fashion models of the time.
NO, sorry... He said... "In the mountains there they dwell" 🤠
My father loved this song.
I never knew they had video of Harry McClintlock
I want to see this remastered to HD or 4k. Loved this song since I was a child.
I kind of like how this looks better than modern
Ahhh so this must be the explicit version 🤣😂🤣😂🤣💃🏻🏃🏼♂️
Come back America 🇺🇸
RUclips lyrics:
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hikin'
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In The Big Rock Candy Mountains
The living there is well
Why Ziegfeld never met such gals
In the mountains there they dwell
While they make your life of pleasure
They are at your beck and call
Where you sing and play and grub day hey
That's a life for me, where the drinking is free
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In The Big Rock Candy Mountains
You lead a life of ease
While the place is full of cuties
Who always strive to please
You never do no walking
You ride and roll in chairs
Where the champagne fountain
Rolls its spray and you make hey hey all the living long day
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
-What time shall I call you sir?
-That's the way I'd live if I had money!
One of my favourite songs
Great video. Greater song. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic!
To throw a little reality-based cold water, “The Big Rock Candy Mountain” is actually an infamous folk song that was sanitized by Harry McClintock. It was not written by McClintock, but only first recorded by him in 1928. According to the book ON THE FLY! HOBO LITERATURE AND SONGS, 1879-1941 edited by Iain McIntyre, the song “emerged in the 1890s” and its authorship is attributed to “Unknown." The song is infamous, because its lyrics were often a narration by a mature male hobo sexual predator, who sings to entice a boy to join him in the fantastic hobo world characterized in the song. Some of the folk lyrics are not suitable for printing here. The same meaning is documented in the Wikipedia article on the song (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rock_Candy_Mountain).
The lives of hobo’s during the 1890s were often physically and mentally brutal, as the US was suffering from the Panic of 1893, an economic depression that lasted through 1897. The song is cheery in OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU, as the three protagonists have escaped a prison chain gang and venture to recover their lives and seek a treasure. In reality, Jack London’s 1907 memoir, THE ROAD, documents his experiences as a destitute yet vigorous 18-year old hobo in 1894 (available for free: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14658 and ruclips.net/video/dU4m1kERYGg/видео.html as an audiobook). THE ROAD is written for readers of all ages, and is an engaging and often, an entertaining narrative. It presents the real-life stark meaning of surviving hunger, cold, and violence as a hobo. London also describes his experience as part of Coxey’s Army, unemployed men who tramped across the US to gather to demonstrate economic conditions in Washington DC; and as a falsely-accused criminal imprisoned in the nightmarish Erie County Penitentiary in Pennsylvania.
Lighten up !
no kidding?
apologies,,,that is great research
Yup.
In an interview Harry McClintock said he did write the song when he was younger in 1895. He said he is the original author of the song and made 2 versions of it.
Mulligan Stew was made by throwing whatever food the group had on hand, mostly canned goods, into a big pot, adding water, and making a big comunal pot of food. Nobody bathed in it, that I know of it.
Makes me wonder what the other unicorns were gonna do to Charlie if they ever got him to Candy Mountain...
Excellent 😀
I want to be there!
I love it
That ain’t bath water he’s drinking
it's stew
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
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
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 the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey, too
You can paddle all around 'em
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws or picks,
I'ma goin' to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the Turk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
I'll see you all this coming Fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"

I like this song
this is fantastic 😂
Hal Borne's wife, Rose was my wife's real estate partner in LA many years ago. He died before I could meet him.
There are two versions, a children version and this version
This can't be further from the truth. See the Wikipedia article about the history of this song: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rock_Candy_Mountain or my comment posted in to this video.

Sign me up Brother!
Let's make it happen
Early MTV video.

Why were the women so hot back in these times?
Because vanity and pride in ones appearance where virtues
schoolsout901 what do you mean were
IKR take me back in time
Because they took better care of themselves back then.
they literally look the same as modern women just different hair lmao
❤️ 👍...!
Why isn't this in fallout?
Music video
Bro this encourages my womanizing and alcoholism hahahaha
hi
Could easily be in fallout
!!!
Hit the sheriff!
This was before the Holocaust.
Sesh
the acoustic version is better
must be the male fantasy version?
Intro of the song sounds like a major groomer alert. Some boys are camping and a hobo comes by and wants them to go with him to a place where there's booze, sex, and no authority figures to stop him? No thanks creep! 😂
Groomers didn’t exist back then
Btw boys don’t always mean children I call my friends my boys and where all adults
@@Burnthealphabetpeople Oh, they did. They REALLY did. In fact, a certain unpublished verse proves it...
no
But that's not the same bloody song!
The old songs have a lot of variations.
Steve Burstein It's the original.
@@toothfairy10133
Definitely not. He did the more famous version fourteen years before this, and the song has a much longer history than that, apparently.
Far from the best version
