I wish l was a mole in the ground.
Yeah, I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I was a mole in the ground
l’d root that mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in the ground

Annie wants a nine-dollar shawl
Annie wants a nine-dollar shawl
When I come over the hill
With a forty dollar bill
It’s “Baby, where you been so Iong?”

I’ve been down in the Bend so long
Yeah, I’ve been down in the Bend so damn long
Working down there in the Bend
With them rough and rowdy men
Still it’s “Baby, where you been so long?”

You know I hate a railroad man
You know I hate a railroad man
‘Cause a railroad man
He’ll kill you when he can
And drink up all your blood like wine

Oh, I wish I was a lizard in the spring
Yeah, l wish I was a lizard in the spring
If I was a lizard in the spring
I’d make my darling sing
And I wish l was a lizard in the spring

So Annie let your hair hang down
Annie let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down
And your bangs curl around
Annie, let your hair hang down

Well I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yeah I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I was a mole in the ground
I’d root that mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in the ground
