I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
‘F I'se 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
Yes, Kimpy wants a nine-dollar shawl
When I come o'er the hill with a forty-dollar bill,
‘Tis, “Baby, where you been so long?”
I been in the Bend so long
Yes, I been in the Bend so long

‘Tis, “Baby, where you been so long?”
I don't like a railroad man
No, I don't like a railroad man
‘Cause a railroad man, they'll k** you when he can,
And drink up your blood like wine
Oh, I wish I was a lizard in the spring
Yes, I wish I was a lizard in the spring
‘F I'se a lizard in the spring, I'd hear my darlin' sing,
An' I wish I was a lizard in the spring
Come, Kimpy, let your hair roll down
Kimpy let your hair roll down
Let your hair roll down and your bangs curl around
Oh, Kimpy, let your hair roll down
I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
‘F I'se a mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down,
An'I wish I was a mole in the ground
