lyrics

I wish I were a mole in the ground
I wish I were a mole in the ground
mole in the ground I would root that mountain down
I wish I were a mole in the ground.

Kimpy wants a nine-dollar shawl
Kimpy wants a nine-dollar shawl
I come over the hill with a forty-dollar bill
she says darlin' where ya been so long?

Well I've been in the pen so long
I've been in the pen so long
been in the pen with the rough and rowdy men
well I've been in the pen so long.

And I don't like a railroad man
I don't like a railroad man
‘cause a railroad man he will kill you when he can
and drink up your blood like wine.

Wish I were a lizard in the spring
wish I were a lizard in the spring
lizard in the spring I would hear my darlin' sing
wish I were a lizard in the spring.

Oh, Kimpy let your hair roll down
Kimpy let your hair roll down
let your hair roll down and your bangs all curl around.
Kimpy let your hair roll down.
