Lyrics

[00:04.96] I wish I was a mole in the ground
[00:09.32]
[00:11.42] Yes I wish I was a mole in the ground
[00:14.53]
[00:16.83] If I a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down
[00:20.85] And I wish I was a mole in the ground
[00:24.42]
[00:32.33] Oh tippy wants a nine dollar shawl
[00:36.71]
[00:38.77] Yes tippy wants a nine dollar shawl
[00:42.43]
[00:44.33] When I come o'er the hill with a forty dollar bill
[00:48.44]
[00:49.68] Baby where you been so long
[00:53.01]
[01:00.67] I been in the bend so long
[01:04.02]
[01:05.36] Yes I been in the bend so long
[01:08.55]
[01:10.78] I been in the bend with the rough and rowdy men
[01:14.63]
[01:15.66] Baby where you been so long
[01:19.02]
[01:26.57] Oh I don't like a railroad man
[01:30.17]
[01:31.14] No I don't like a railroad man
[01:34.48]
[01:37.07] If I was a railroad man they'll kill you when he can
[01:41.43] Drink up your blood like wine
[01:43.91]
[01:51.66] Oh I wish I was a lizard in the spring
[01:55.29]
[01:57.29] Yes I wish I was a lizard in the spring
[02:00.40]
[02:03.07] If I's a lizard in the spring I'd hear my darlin' sing
[02:07.14] And I wish I was a lizard in the spring
[02:11.14]
[02:18.54] Oh capie let your hair roll down
[02:23.22]
[02:24.76] Capie let your hair roll down
[02:28.13]
[02:29.94] Let your hair roll down and your bangs curl round
[02:33.99]
[02:34.49] Oh capie let your hair roll down
[02:38.23]
[02:46.19] I wish I was a mole in the ground
[02:49.90]
[02:50.95] Yes I wish I was a mole in the ground
[02:54.27]
[02:56.51] If I was a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down
[03:00.29] And I wish I was a mole in the ground
