Like A Mole In The Ground
(tom meltzer)
Based on bascom lunsford's 'mole in the ground'
I wish that i was a mole in the ground Like a mole in the ground, i would root that mountain down Tree by tree and town by town I wish i was a mole in the ground
And i wish that i was a lizard in the spring Like a lizard in the spring, i would hear the robin sing I'd feast upon the robin's eggs and i'd not regret a thing I wish i was a lizard in the spring
But i'm just a man who loves a woman who's drifting away The miles and miles between us grow wider every day I wish that i was strong or free or not in love or dead Better still, i wish i was a mole in the ground
I don't like working for the railroad man Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For the railroad will kill you just as fast as it can It drinks your blood like wine and throws your bones to the wind I don't like working for the railroad, man
And tempy oh tempy wants a $100 shawl But i got $90, $90, that is all Our house is not a home it's just a roof and four walls But tempy wants a $100 shawl
Chorus
Tempy, oh tempy let your hair hang low Let your hair hang low while i rosin up my bow We'll pretend we are lovers like we were so long ago Tempy, let your hair hang low
I wish i was a mole in the ground etc Don't wait up for me 'cause tonight i think i'm going downtown
