Like A Mole In The Ground Lyrics
(Tom Meltzer)based on Bascom Lunsford's "Mole in the Ground" I wish that I was a mole in the groundLike a mole in the ground, I would root that mountain downTree by tree and town by townI wish I was a mole in the ground And I wish that I was a lizard in the springLike a lizard in the spring, I would hear the robin singI'd feast upon the robin's eggs and I'd not regret a thingI wish I was a lizard in the springBut I'm just a man who loves a woman who's drifting awayThe miles and miles between us grow wider every dayI wish that I was strong or free or not in love or deadBetter still, I wish I was a mole in the groundI don't like working for the railroad manFor the railroad will kill you just as fast as it canIt drinks your blood like wine and throws your bones to the windI don't like working for the railroad, manAnd Tempy oh Tempy wants a $100 shawlBut I got $90, $90, that is allOur house is not a home it's just a roof and four wallsBut Tempy wants a $100 shawlCHORUS Tempy, oh Tempy let your hair hang lowLet your hair hang low while I rosin up my bowWe'll pretend we are lovers like we were so long agoTempy, let your hair hang lowI wish I was a mole in the ground etcDon't wait up for me 'cause tonight I think I'm going downtown
