The Molecatcher Lyrics - Lloyd

THE MOLECATCHER 

In Wellington town at the sign of the plough 

There lived a molecatcher, shall I tell you how? 

Singing to rel i day fol di lie laddie lie laddie di day 

He'd go a molecatching from morning to night 

And a young fellow came for to play with his wife 

The molecatcher jealous of this very same thing 

He hid in the wash house to see him come in 

He saw the young fellow come over the stile 

Which caused the molecatcher so crafty to smile 

He knocked on the door and thus he did say 

"Where is your husband, good woman, I pray?" 

"He's gone a-molecatching, you need never fear" 

But little did she think the molecatcher was near 

She went up the stairs and gave him the sign 

And the molecatcher followed them quickly behind 

And while the young fellow was up to his frolics 

The molecatcher caught him right fast by his bollocks 

The trap it squeezed tighter, which caused him to smile 

Saying, "Here's the best mole that I've caught in a while" 

"I'll make you pay dearly for tilling my ground 

And the money it'll cop you no less than ten pound" 

"Ten pound," says the young fellow, "That I don't mind 

It only works out about tuppence a grind" 

So come all you young fellows and mind what you're at 

And don't get 'em caught in the molecatcher's trap
