5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -5 6 6 -5
On a sum-mer day, in the month of may,

5-5 6 6 -4 -5 5 4
a bur-ly bum came hik-in'

5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -5 6 6 -5
down a shad-y lane, thru the sug-ar cane,

5 -5 6 6 -4 -5 5 4 5 5 -4 5 -5
he was look-in' for his lik-in' as he roamed a-long,

-4 5 -5 6 5 5 -4 5 -4 4 5 6
he sang a song of a land of milk and hon-ey,

5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -5 6 6 6 -5
where a bum can stay fo-r man-y a day,

5 -5 6 6 -4 -5 5 4
and he won't need an-y mon-ey.

6 -5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 4 4 4 4
Oh the buz-zin' of the bees in the cig-ar-ette trees

4 4 -6 -6 7 7 -6 6
near the so-da wat-er foun-tain.

5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 5 5 5
At the lem-on-ade springs where the blue-bird sings

5 -5 6 6 -4 -5 5 4
In the Big Rock Can-dy Moun-tain.
