5 CHINESE BROTHERS - Like A Mole In The Ground lyrics

rate me

(tom meltzer)<br><br>Based on bascom lunsford's mole in the ground<br><br>I wish that I was a mole in the ground<br>Like a mole in the ground, I would root that mountain down<br>Tree by tree and town by town<br>I wish I was a mole in the ground<br><br>And I wish that I was a lizard in the spring<br>Like a lizard in the spring, I would hear the robin sing<br>I'd feast upon the robin's eggs and I'd not regret a thing<br>I wish I was a lizard in the spring<br><br>But I'm just a man who loves a woman who's drifting away<br>The miles and miles between us grow wider every day<br>I wish that I was strong or free or not in love or dead<br>Better still, I wish I was a mole in the ground<br><br>I don't like working for the railroad man<br>For the railroad will kill you just as fast as it can<br>It drinks your blood like wine and throws your bones to the wind<br>I don't like working for the railroad, man<br><br>And tempy oh tempy wants a $100 shawl<br>But I got $90, $90, that is all<br>Our house is not a home it's just a roof and four walls<br>But tempy wants a $100 shawl<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Tempy, oh tempy let your hair hang low<br>Let your hair hang low while I rosin up my bow<br>We'll pretend we are lovers like we were so long ago<br>Tempy, let your hair hang low<br><br>I wish I was a mole in the ground etc<br>Don't wait up for me 'cause tonight I think I'm going downtown
