1
I wish that I was a mole in the ground
2
Like a mole in the ground, I would root that mountain down
3
Tree by tree and town by town
4
I wish I was a mole in the ground
5
And I wish that I was a lizard in the spring
6
Like a lizard in the spring, I would hear the robin sing
7
I'd feast upon the robin's eggs and I'd not regret a thing
8
I wish I was a lizard in the spring
9
But I'm just a man who loves a woman who's drifting away
10
The miles and miles between us grow wider every day
11
I wish that I was strong or free or not in love or dead
12
Better still, I wish I was a mole in the ground
13
I don't like working for the railroad man
14
For the railroad will kill you just as fast as it can
15
It drinks your blood like wine and throws your bones to the wind
16
I don't like working for the railroad, man
17
And Tempy oh Tempy wants a $100 shawl
18
But I got $90, $90, that is all
19
Our house is not a home it's just a roof and four walls
20
But Tempy wants a $100 shawl
21
CHORUS
22
Tempy, oh Tempy let your hair hang low
23
Let your hair hang low while I rosin up my bow
24
We'll pretend we are lovers like we were so long ago
25
Tempy, let your hair hang low
26
I wish I was a mole in the ground etc
27
Don't wait up for me cause tonight I think I'm going downtown
