Harry Smith — I Wish I Was a Mole In the Ground lyrics

Lyrics

I wish I was a mole in the ground If I’s a mole in the ground
I’d root that mountain down And I wish I was a mole in the ground Oh,
Kimpy wants a nine dollar shawl When I come over the hill with a 40 dolalr
bill
Baby, where you been so long? I been in the pen so long I been in the pen with
the rough and rowdy men
Baby, where you been so long? I don’t like a railroad man Cause a railroad man
they’ll kill you when he can
And drink up your blood like wine I wish I was a lizard in the spring If I’s a lizard in the spring I’d hear my darlin' sing
Yes, I wish I was a lizard in the spring Come, Kimpy, let your hair roll down
Let your hair roll down and your bangs curl around
Oh Kimpy, let your hair roll down
