I Wish I Was A Mole In The Ground
Recorded by Doc Watson

C                   G7          C
Well I wish I was a mole in the ground
             G7          C
Wish I was a mole in the ground

If I was a mole in the ground 
                       Am
I'd root that mountain down
      C            G7          C
And I wish I was a mole in the ground

                  G7        C
Oh Tippy let your hair roll down
                      G7        C
Little Tippy let your hair roll down

Let your hair roll down 
                           Am
And your pretty bangs curl round
       C              G7        C
Little Tippy let your hair roll down

                 G7          C
My Tippy wants a nine dollar shawl
                     G7          C
Little Tippy wants a nine dollar shawl

When I come o'er the hill 
                       Am
With that fifty dollar bill
      C              G7          C
Gonna bring her that nine dollar shawl

               G7            C
I wish I was a lizard in the spring
             G7            C
Wish I was a lizard in the spring

If I was a lizard in the spring 
                               Am
I could hear my little darling sing
      C          G7            C
And I wish I was lizard in the spring

               G7            C
I wish I was a little turtle dove
               G7            C
I wish I was a little turtle dove

If I was a little turtle dove
                        Am
I’d fly away to my true love
      C            G7            C
And I wish I was a little turtle dove

             G7            C
I don't like that railroad man
                G7            C
No I don't like that railroad man
 
Now that old railroad man
                           Am
He’s gonna cheat you if he can
      C            G7        C
Right down to your last lone dime

                    G7           C
Well I wish I was a wooly boogie bee on no
               G7           C
I wish I was a wooly boogie bee

If I was a wooly boogie bee
                       Am
I’d live in her cherry tree
      C            G7           C
And I wish I was a wooly boogie bee
