5 Chinese Brothers - Like A Mole In The Ground lyrics

(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 For the railroad will k** 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
