I wish I was a mole in the ground.
Wish I was a mole in the ground:
'F I'se a mole in the ground,
I'd root that mountain down,
And I wish I was a mole in the ground.
I wish I was a lizard in the spring.
I wish I was a lizard in the spring;
'F I'se a lizard in the spring,
I'd hear my darlin' sing,
An' I wish I was a lizard in the spring.
Oh, Kempy wants a nine-dollar shawl.
Kempy wants a nine-dollar shawl;
When I come o'er the hill
with a twenty-dollar bill,
It's "Baby, where you been so long?"
Come, Kempy, let your hair roll down.
Kempy let your hair roll down;
Let your hair roll down
til it touches on the ground,
Oh, Kempy, let your hair roll down.

I been in the pen so long.
Yes, I been in the pen so long;
I been in the pen
with the rough and rowdy men.
An' I think I'm goin' back there again.
I don't like a railroad man.
No, l don't like a railroad man;
'Cause a railroad man
'he'll kill you when he can,
And drink up your blood like wine.
I wish I was a mole in the ground.
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground:
'F I'se a mole in the ground,
I'd root that mountain down,
An'I wish I was a mole in the ground.
