1
The molecatcher
2
In Wellington town at the sign of the plough
3
There lived a molecatcher, shall I tell you how?
4
Singing to rel I day fol di lie laddie lie laddie di day
5
He'd go a molecatching from morning to night
6
And a young fellow came for to play with his wife
7
The molecatcher jealous of this very same thing
8
He hid in the wash house to see him come in
9
He saw the young fellow come over the stile
10
Which caused the molecatcher so crafty to smile
11
He knocked on the door and thus he did say
12
"Where is your husband, good woman, I pray?"
13
"He's gone a-molecatching, you need never fear"
14
But little did she think the molecatcher was near
15
She went up the stairs and gave him the sign
16
And the molecatcher followed them quickly behind
17
And while the young fellow was up to his frolics
18
The molecatcher caught him right fast by his bollocks
19
The trap it squeezed tighter, which caused him to smile
20
Saying, "Here's the best mole that I've caught in a while"
21
"I'll make you pay dearly for tilling my ground
22
And the money it'll cop you no less than ten pound"
23
"Ten pound," says the young fellow, "That I don't mind
24
It only works out about tuppence a grind"
25
So come all you young fellows and mind what you're at
26
And don't get 'em caught in the molecatcher's trap
