Mole in the Ground

I wish I were a mole in the ground.
I wish I were a mole in the ground.
If I were a mole in the ground, I'd root the mountain down.
And I wish I were a mole in the ground.

Oh Darling where've you been so long?
Oh Darling, where've you been so long?
I've been in the pen with the rough and rowdy men,
And I'm going back again before long.

Oh, Tessie wants a nine dollar shawl.
Oh, Tessie wants a nine dollar shawl.
He came o'er the hill with a twenty dollar bill,
Saying, "Tessie wants a nine dollar shawl."

 

Oh, Tessie, let your hair roll down.
Oh, Tessie, let your hair roll down.
Let your hair roll down and your face turn around.
Oh, Tessie, let your hair roll down.

I wish I were a lizard in the spring.
I wish I were a lizard in the spring.
If I were a lizard in the spring, I could hear my darling sing.
And I wish I were a lizard in the spring.

And I wish I were a mole in the ground.
And I wish I were a more in the ground.
If I were a mole in the ground, I'd root the mountain down.
And I wish I were a mole in the ground.
