Mole In The Ground Lyrics - Tim O'brien

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 

Wish I was a lizard in the spring 

Wish I was a lizard in the spring 

A lizard in the spring, I'd hear my true love sing 

If I was a mole in the ground 

Don't marry a railroad man 

Don't marry a railroad man 

A railroad man gonna kill you if he can 

And drink up your blood like wine 

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 

Now, 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 

Baby 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 

repeat first verse
