@BBYMRLCCOTN The punk rolled up his big blue eyes And said to the jocker, "Sandy, I've hiked and hiked and wandered too, But I ain't seen any candy. I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore And I'll be damned if I hike any more To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."

Here is a note of interest from Wikipedia re: the missing verse:
"Before recording the song, McClintock cleaned it up considerably from the version he sang as a street busker in the 1890's. Originally the song described a child being recruited into hobo life by tales of the "big rock candy mountain". In later years, when McClintock appeared in court as part of a copyright dispute, he cited the original words of the song, the last stanza " (the missing verse Postie218 refers to.)

I'm glad you like it! Vernon Dalhart has always been one of my favorites. Be sure to check out the other videos I have on my channel. I have posted over 900 old time recordings from the 20's and 30's. Enjoy, and I hope you have a great day, Brian
