First recorded by Harry McClintock in 1928, Big Rock Candy Mountain is a is a song about a hobo’s idea of paradise, a modern version of the medieval concept of Cockaigne. It is a place where “hens lay soft boiled eggs” and there are “cigarette trees.” The song is has been used in many places, most recently in an commercial for LL Bean … either way little streams of whiskey sound good to me.
