Ahmad Jamal - A Gal In Calico - Live (Spotlite Club) lyrics

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