5 Chinese Brothers - Like A Mole In The Ground Lyrics
(tom meltzer)Based on bascom lunsfords mole in the groundI wish that I was a mole in the groundLike a mole in the ground, I would root that mountain downTree by tree and town by townI wish I was a mole in the groundAnd I wish that I was a lizard in the springLike a lizard in the spring, I would hear the robin singId feast upon the robins eggs and Id not regret a thingI wish I was a lizard in the springBut Im just a man who loves a woman whos drifting awayThe miles and miles between us grow wider every dayI wish that I was strong or free or not in love or deadBetter still, I wish I was a mole in the groundI dont like working for the railroad manFor the railroad will kill you just as fast as it canIt drinks your blood like wine and throws your bones to the windI dont like working for the railroad, manAnd tempy oh tempy wants a $100 shawlBut I got $90, $90, that is allOur house is not a home its just a roof and four wallsBut tempy wants a $100 shawlChorusTempy, oh tempy let your hair hang lowLet your hair hang low while I rosin up my bowWell pretend we are lovers like we were so long agoTempy, let your hair hang lowI wish I was a mole in the ground etcDont wait up for me cause tonight I think Im going downtown
