I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground
[Verse 1]
I wish I was a mole in the ground
I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I was a mole in the ground
I'd root that mountain down
I wish I was a mole in the ground

[Verse 2]
Darling wants a nine dollar shawl
Darling wants a nine dollar shawl
When I come over the hill
With a forty dollar bill
It's "Baby, where you been so long?"

[Verse 3]
I've been in the bend so long
I've been in the bend so long
Well, I been in the bend
With the rough and rowdy men
I've been in the bend so long

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I wish I was a lizard in the Spring
I wish I was a lizard in the Spring
If I was a lizard in the Spring
I'd hear my darlin' sing
I wish I was a lizard in the spring
[Verse 5]
Darling, won't you let your hair roll down?
Darling, won't you let your hair roll down?
Let your hair roll down
And your bangs twirl around
Darling, won't you let your hair roll down?

[Verse 6]
I wish I was a mole in the ground
I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I's a mole in the ground
I'd root that mountain down
I wish I was a mole in the ground
I wish I was a mole in the ground
