Wish I was a mole in the ground Wish I was a mole in the ground Mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down Wish I was a mole in the ground If I was a lizard in the spring If I was a lizard in the spring A lizard in the spring, I'd hear my true love sing If I was a lizard in the spring

Baby wants a nine dollar shawl Baby wants a nine dollar shawl When I come around the hill with my twenty dollar bill She says honey where you been so long says baby where you been so long Honey where you been so long Said I been to Caroline to see that gal of mine That's where I been so long I said, honey where'd you stay last night I said, honey where'd you stay last night Said I stayed around the bend With some rough and rowdy men And now I'm goin back again
Wish I was a mole in the ground Wish I was a mole in the ground Mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down Wish I was a mole in the ground
