A traditional tune, done best by Bascom Lamar Lunsford

lyrics

I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, 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, It's honey where you been so long
Yes, It's honey where you been so long
When I come o'er the hill with a forty dollar bill
Baby, where you been so long?

I been in the bend so long
Yes, I been in the bend so long
I been in the bend with the rough and rowdy men
Baby, where you been so long?

Oh, I don't like a railroad man
No, I don't like a railroad man
If I's a railroad man they'll kill you when he can
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
If I's a lizard in the spring I'd hear my darlin' sing
And I wish I was a lizard in the spring

I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, 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
